Madeleine Fournier, in charge of teletype transmissions in the shipping department, is featured in the Entre-Nous newspaper in December 1953. In an interview, she tells about an era and her experience: “It was some of the best years of my life. I have amazing memories of working with a group of girls, we got along great. My sisters all worked there, my brothers too, plus my father and a boarder. There were eight of us working at the Bruck! There were many night shifts and day shifts.”
