Title	Exterior view of an oil refinery, showing a fluid cooking unit for petroleum processing engineering, procurement, and construction by the Ralph M. Parsons Company, ca.1940
Description	Photograph of an exterior view of an oil refinery, showing a fluid cooking unit for petroleum processing engineering, procurement, and construction by the Ralph M. Parsons Company, ca.1940. Thick, metal pipes bend up the tall building in a maze of intersecting paths. Beyond the wall of interweaving pipes are levels of grated, metal floors, each with machinery inside. Smaller platforms protrude around a large, cylindrical apparatus on the right while wires connect the entire structure to a tall, lightly-colored pole in front of the structure on the far right.
