Description
Photograph of exterior view of large unidentified factory, showing steam pipes in foreground, ca.1950. In the extreme foreground at right, two long, metallic pipes are visible extending into the extreme background at center. The pipes connect to the exterior of a large rectangular factory. The plain factory walls are lined with rows of rectangular windows. To the far right of the large factory, another similar rectangular structure of roughly the same size and shape can be seen. On the roof of this building, a cylindrical container can be seen adjacent to large crates. An extended crane arm can be seen moving toward the large rectangular crates. At center between these two large buildings, a smaller rectangular building connecting the two structures is visible. Several windows are also visible lining the structure. To the right of the long pipes seen at the center of the image, ridged cylindrical objects can be seen. A large dish is visible at the base of these objects, and a small cone-like structure can be seen emerging from the top of the cylinder. To the left of the long pipes, arrays of larger pipes can be seen. In the extreme foreground, a circular valve can be seen connected to a pipe. Behind the valve, three small steam pipes are visible with a stream of smoke emerging from the pipe on the right. Further in the background on the left, additional sets of pipes can be seen.
