Photograph of an interior portion of the Northrop Corporation's Hawthorne plant, where the Snark Missile was being constructed, ca.1950.

A man stands beside the exposed wiring of such a device, at center, while another can be seen working on a dark-colored piece in the middle of the short. The wall of the plant appears at right, and what appears to be a fire exit can be seen in the corner, at left.
