Description
Construction workers, George Jones, and a 3-ton truck loaded with a large crate at the 100-inch telescope observatory, Mount Wilson Observatory. The eight (8) unidentified construction workers are standing on or around the hood of the truck; George Jones is at the far right, with his right arm against the side of the crate. The observatory building housing the 100-inch telescope is seen behind the men and the truck; the corrugated steel walls and the metal staircase are also seen.
