Telephone Line Repairmen at Work
| A crew of telephone line repairmen working on a rural line with their International truck parked below them. An IH truck, with storage compartments sitting open, is parked on the side of the road. On the vehicle the company name "B.T. Co." and the "International" logo is visible. A man in a harness and pulley system is hanging above the truck while another man stands on a tall ladder. A third man on the ground is leveraging ropes to stabilize the ladder. There is a lamp sitting on the ground to the right of the men. The men may be hanging street lamps. |
