Description
Photograph of rubber calendar machines operating in tandem at a Samson Tire and Rubber Corporation plant, Compton, [s.d.]. Four workmen can be seen throughout operating various large machines. The machines have large cylindrical rollers and pipes attached to them. Pipes and lights hang from the ceiling, while what appears to be a basin filled with a chalky substance is visible in the foreground. Transparency reads: "Here, strong, long staple, combed Egyptian cotton is impregnated with rubber. The workmen who attend these machines are among the highest paid in the industry".
