Photograph of three factory workers inspecting tires, ca.1950. Three men are visible from the side and behind facing left and looking at tires hanging on large hooks that run from the left towards the center. The man to the left is balding and wears slacks and a white T-shirt. Standing two tires down on the right are two workers standing next to each other.
