WPTZ Technicians
1944

While WPTZ, Channel 3 stayed on the air all during the entire Second World War, they had a reduced schedule and used women and college students in many of the technical roles, especially by the end of the war. This picture was taken in the C and Tioga Streets' Philco plant during 1944.
