Well, maybe the Romney allusion is a stretch, but I did find amusing this 1950's era post card for DeVry Technical Institute in Chicago picturing its training labs to prepare its students for careers using, among other things, "nuclear instrumentation."
The legend on the back says it all: DeVry is "one of the best-known, best-equipped training organizations of its kind in the nation for preparing and helping men get started in Television-Radio- Electronics." I guess they never heard of Women in Nuclear.
One of the students apparently sent the card to his sweetie.
The other card is a small trading card (about 1 x 2 1/2 inches) issued in the 1960s by a British soft drink company in a series on "Adventurous Lives" -- of men, that is. This one features an "atomic worker":
I'm sure he was ready for a lubbly Jubbly after a hard day at the glovebox!
