There is a few rolls of fabric or paper behind him on a shelf. A paper included with the photograph, but not attached, reads "A worker in the packing area at Lyman Printing and Finishing enters information on the goods he is packign into an IBM 2791 area station, which reports packing activity to an IBM 1800 computer. The system has enabled Lyman to unstop a major bottleneck in its packing operation and reduce reporting errors by 75 per cent."
