Those photos are a perfect example of how skilled earlier photographers were
in the use of light. I would bet that most of them used hot lights, but
large flashbulbs, those ones about the size of a 100 watt bulb, could have
done them well. Note how the backgrounds in the factory scenes went black,
removing many distractions. These guys kicked ass!

Subject: [OM] Early 40's 4x5 Kodachromes
A friend sent me this link this morning. I found it very interesting
with some great photos. Kodachrome sheet film at this time was only ASA
8 (daylight) or 10 (type A, movie lights) which probably explains the
use of much supplementary light which I assume is flash but might be
incandescent movie lights.
