Description
Photograph of a Standard Oil siphon gushing oil at Taft in the Midway-Sunset Oil Field of Kern County, ca.1920. The tapered scaffolding of the oil siphon jets oil into the air, which is blowing it to the left. Three men stand around a small shed positioned in front of the siphon. Wooden debris surround them.
