Description
Photograph of the interior of the Southern California Gas Company plant, ca.1955. A series of pipes of various sizes interconnect and plug into a light-colored wall at center. Atop them at left, sit two round meters, connected to the pipe maze. Across from this area, a man stands, turning a knob on a wall dotted with meters and switches. Overhead stream yet another series of pipes, perhaps a ventilation system.; Back of photoprint reads: "application usage".
