About the Photos
Most of the photos on this site were extracted from reference images (high-resolution tiffs, 20 to 200 megabytes in size) from the Library of Congress research archive. (To query the database click here.) Most were digitized by LOC contractors using a Sinar studio back. They are adjusted by your webmaster for contrast and color in Photoshop before being downsized and turned into the jpegs you see here.

High heat

Don't ever remember seeing radiant steam heaters 6 feet off the floor. Interesting, and I could use the vise attached to the bench today.
Bumpers optional

This picture and the next one feature a grand total of one bumper. This seems like an idea that would have caught on sooner.
Oh, those details

Another amazing shot!
Of particular note: Part of a Ford Model T planetary transmission and magneto on the bench at far left (possibly from the Model T "doctor's coupe") in the rearmost bay; time clock on the rear wall, complete with time cards in their rack; Ford magneto tester to the right of the clock; short, stout sawhorses used as jackstands; wrecked car in the wide bay--see the bent frame horns at the front); jib crane on the right wall; trouble light hanging on the column. Most telling is the general layer of grime on the cars, which of course you never see on antique cars today.
