Description
Photograph of Pacific Western boilers on March 8, 1931. What appear to be seven elongated barrels on their sides can be seen next to one another across center. Long pipes emerge from the top of the barrels and continue upwards, while valves and valve wheels are visible on top of the barrels towards the back behind the tall pipes. Metal lines can be seen running from a short post at left towards the top of the pipes, while a few thin metal pipes can be seen laying in the dirt at right. Dirt is visible on the flat land into the background.
