How women do men's war jobs. Tosting a Machine Gun's Endurance. While one woman ordnance worker stand by, another pulls a lanyard and a 20-millimeter machine gun roars into action during test firing at the Aberdeen proving Group of the U.S. Army. Firing continues until the gun breaks down or the officer in charge blows his whistle. Hard, noisy jobs such as these, by which the tools of ware are tested to the limit, are done exportly by American women, many of whom are at work for sentimental reasons, having sons, husbands, brothers of fathers in the U.S. armed forces. They are demonstrating they can do a man's job well, just as have the emergency armies of women workers in many other lands.
