This was on Facebook last night (ahd was originally from Shorpy's).

The description was " 1942. Boeing aircraft plant, Seattle. Production of B-17 'Flying Fortress' routing wires"

I've often wondered how they made the wiring harnesses.   For this particular section, metal studs are spaced for length accuracy.
