Description
Photograph of maintenance truck workers checking a sewer line, ca.1940. Two men stand around an open sewer to the left of center looking at the camera. A maintenance truck to their right has a light extended out of the back to illuminate their work. The features of the truck are barely visible because of the darkness. Note: truck protecting man hole opening from traffic, and 100 watt flood light directly over man hole making working conditions clear. In serious pipe line conditions or when traffic is heavy and dangerous, the maintenance work is done at night.
