Description
Photograph of workers monitoring tire molds at an unidentified Los Angeles factory, [s.d.]. Two long metal tables can be seen, and the table tops are covered with large tire molds. Four men can be seen standing in the aisle between the tables. In the background several more men can be seen operating large machines to put tires into molds. The picture file card reads "Moulding the tire is a hot job, but these husky men can do it easily. Tire manufacturing is an important L.A. County industry with four major plants located here".
