Summary
Photograph featuring workers seated at the rapid slide mounting machines in Building 20 of the Kodak Australasia Pty Ltd factory, Coburg. After processing, the rolls of film are fed through these machines where they are cut apart and mounted. The machines automatically date stamp and number the slides. The speed of the machines ensures that hundreds of films are mounted each hour, without the operators needing to touch a single individual picture.
This is Slide 232 from the 'Extra Prints of Coburg Lecture' album which contained hundreds of images of the factory and its workers which could be used with a slide presentation titled 'A Look At Kodak Coburg Australia', issued by the Photo Information Services Department at Kodak Australasia Pty Ltd, circa 1960s.
