(Above and below) Tooling up in the Elco factory's early days--brand new machinery and a lot of open space; hull jigs (for proper alignment of frames and bulkheads) can be seen on the floor. A few 70-foot boat hull frames can also be seen.

70-footer production underway: in the background, the keel (hanging from the ceiling) is about to be joined to the hull frames, while in the foreground, cabin frames are beginning to take shape.
