Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: July is jig time at Douglas: That's when the first DC-10 wing should be in this 30-foot high tubular steel jig used for wing assembly. The 100-ton jigs (there are two of them) will have men working in three levels. The company is still seeking toolmakers and designers; clerk typists and others for its expanded work force.
