And about those shoes.... how does one walk in them at all? I would think with the ankle so high off the floor, that the foot could easily roll inward and cause a nasty fall and a broken ankle.

Ok, I give up. What is this thing?
And I hope that woman watches where she's going, or things could get messy.

I found it several places on the Internet. One place the caption was:

Paul Maciulaitis image title is Woman at BASF gas engine power house in 1917
[The comments point out that it looks like the alternator is turning fast because of a slow shutter speed. The woman is holding a pose while the picture is being taken. The wheel of that size is probably turning at 60-80 rpm. An example of a large, slingle-crank gas engine.]

Here is a video of a restoration of such an engine being started up, running, and shutting down:


This thing is a real monster! :-o

Jeddak is absolutely right #1 shows a huge electrical generator
Girl #2 is the organist's muse and his pastime when he's not playing.
