Description
Photograph of five workmen standing around the rotary drill system in action, Brayer Field, ca.1910. The apparatus is located in a corrugated metal drilling shack with wood floor. Large articulated chains transfer the engine's power ninety degrees to the drill. Three men in stained work clothes watch the drill from the left while another man in work clothes and a man in a suit watch from the right. Daylight shines on the thick chain from the cracks in the ceiling and back wall. This is not in California.
