A female machine operator at the Russell car manufacturing company during WW1, making munitions. With a better publicity department, she could have been a WW1 Rosie the Riveter.
Russell Motor Car was founded when CCM, a Toronto bicycle manufacturer, bought the bankrupt Canadian Motors company in 1903. After starting with a two seater electric, they moved to gas engines and by 1910 were using the Knight sleeve valve engine in their high end model. During WW1 they changed from making cars to munitions and after the war became a supplier of automobile and machine parts. The company ceased operations in the 50s.
