Description
A munitions employee at the Small Arms Factory polishing bayonets. The huge grindstone used for grinding and polishing bayonets revolves at a high speed while an employee holds a bayonet upon it. A grindstone is used instead of an emery or abrasive wheel as the grindstone does not draw the temper of the bayonet.
