By April of 1943, the in-plant training school at the Tacoma yard of the Seattle-Tacoma Shipbuilding Corp. had been in operation about a year. The classes helped fill the gap between the shortage of available skilled laborers and the increased number of jobs in the defense industry. Both motion and still pictures were used in training. Here instructor Pete Neufeld is operating a table projector. The trainees are M.A. Smith, T. James, R.V. Sutherland, W. Ehret, K. Taylor and L. Sherman.
