One thing they did back then was apply lots of Zinc Chromate without PPE. Hexavalent Chromium is a particularly nasty carcinogen, and they practically bathed in it. I've got a copy of an old Aeronca factory video where they have a big vat of Zinc Chromate and are using what looks like a hose to literally douse the fuselage frame with it.
That's exactly what is shown in this Piper video.
Thanks for the movie. Seems they were very organized and everyone knew their job and performed it efficiently. The Cub is a thing of beauty with or without the covering on.
