Photograph of pipes at an unidentified oil refinery, 1940-1950. A line of eighteen pipes is at center. All the pipes run diagonally from the foreground at right towards the distance at left, before bending sharply to the distance at center. A man can be seen operating valves on some of the pipes in the distance at left. Several tall towers can be seen in the background at left, while two large cylindrical tanks are visible directly in front of them.
