Awesome! I wonder what they do with the reject transformers?

A fascinating insight into transformer manufacture but somehow I expected their operation to be a little bigger than that.

This is true.
Women are better at fine repetitive work, they made all the tubes too.
How many men can knit? Women can do this stuff on auto pilot while they chat to their neighbours.
They are better wired for multitasking than men.
They were paid less because they were not the main breadwinners, fortunately that is changing but equal pay is still over the horizon for many, the BBC is only just tackling it as we speak.

I have worked at an electronics factory for a few years.
The standard electronics assemblies by hand, like stuffing parts that cannot be done by machines, were mainly done by women, (usually housewives), and all without any education in electronics. A couple of men among them.
The differences in wages isn't about being male or female, it's about education level. The men working at that section don't have a better salary than the women.
End assemblies, tests, and repairs were done by people with an education in electronics. The people here have a higher salary. And well.... yes, these were all men.
but at the R&D section there was also one women. She had a better salary than we (I was working at the end assembly/test/repair section). Not sure if she had a similar income as the men in the R&D section. Of course other factors come into play, like experience, years of service, etc.

Vietnamese girls are the best electronics workers i have ever seen. Small hands and faster than lightening, and no bad days.
Nice link CJ, thanks for bringing that
I think those people in the assembly line need some Color in the walls, it looks like a sad and boring place
