Description
Photograph of workers and machines processing oranges, ca.1930. Conveyor belts and machines with oranges on them can be seen at center. The machines are at least two stories tall. Five workers can be seen from behind or from the side wearing light colored pants, shirts, and aprons looking over the oranges as they pass by on the conveyor belts. A sixth man can be seen standing on a platform towards the background looking over oranges in a tall bin. A few metal barrels are visible in the left foreground and at right.
