 File — Box: 12, Folder: 4

Scope and Contents

Printed in 1974 from glass plate negative no.B147. Image depicts a view of the interior of the Draper Company Screw Shop. Machines line the left-hand wall, and large windows provide illumination, although the two closest windows appear to have been blocked with paper or some other material. Hanging lamps provide more light if needed. There appears to be sawdust on the floor. The Draper Company manufactured textile machinery, primarily looms, and manufactured some, if not all of the parts, including screws. See Item 145, in this folder, for a view of the shop with two male workers visible. 25.25 x 20.25 cm.
