Description
Spectrograph mounting for the National Academy of Sciences building in Washington, D.C. The spectrograph is in the center of the photograph, inside a room or laboratory. Behind the spectrograph is a wooden storage cabinet mounted on the wall. On top of the cabinet is a fan and a clock. Below the cabinet a counter runs the length of the wall. On the right-hand side, a wooden stool is seen just below the counter. Other scientific instruments can be seen in the room.
