Hi George,
I love images in B&W like this illustrating the "work environment." Why?
Partly because it's the type of documentary assignments I shot illustrating
the industries of Canada and other locations about the world during the late
50's, 60's and 70's. Literally thousands upon thousands of rolls of B&W,
usually T-max 400! Rated ASA400 or pushed to 3200 & 6400 on the odd
occasion. 
Some of the pushed film rolls had 30"X40" prints made that were drop dead
gorgeous for exhibitions and or office decor. 
A time when shooting documentaries were the big thing for corporations and
information departments of government knew how to use our photography in
beautiful 8-10 page layouts. Or hanging on a gallery wall.
When you see an image like this clean and simple content and beautiful
reproduction it does really mean something to an "old guy" ;-) like myself.
Thanks for posting!
cheers,
Dr. Ted Grant O.C.
