Description
Photograph of an elaborate washing machine and attendant handling lemons for the Exchange Products Company in Corona, California, ca.1930. The company produces citric acid, oil of lemon, pectin, etc. The man faces the background in lightly-colored coveralls and a hat as he works lemons through the large washing machine in front of him. The lemons appear to enter the machine from a conveyer belt near the ceiling on the left, get hand washed by the attendant, fall on the right to a pool with three rollers below and flow towards the left. Water has spilled into the foreground where a stool stands to assist the attendant to the machine.
