Description
Photograph of the interior view of a Los Angeles automobile factory showing workers on an assembly line, ca.1925. To the left of center, four men use one arm to hold onto the frame of an automobile that is hanging above them. Below the frame sits the body of the car with the four men at the side of each wheel. To left of the men stands a fifth man who appears to be inspecting the work of the four men on the assembly line. The assembly line is visible stretching into the distance while the back end of a car in the right foreground shows the next step in the line. An upper level balcony is visible at the top center of the image with a man standing at the edge of a fence looking down on the workers.
