Description
Photograph of a warehousing tank at an oil refinery, ca.1940. A thin, metal wheel with "Walworth" printed on its base extends from the top of the thick pipe at center. The pipe protrudes from the stained, metal wall and extends out of view to the foreground on the left. What appears to be a small, cloth picture frame hangs under a small lever which is guarded by a padlock just above the pipe. A thin pipe extends from the wall to the bottom surface of the pipe and is controlled by a small wheel on its right side. Photoprint reads "An unusual form of field warehousing. Warehousing crude oil or its by-products in tanks in the field".
