Mobile Machine Shop
Image
A man welding in the back of a mobile machine shop out in a field near a tractor is able to modify parts of experimental harvesting machines on location. A Farmall tractor is in the background. The original caption reads: "With this mobile machine shop International Harvester engineers and designers are able to modify experimental parts of harvesting machines or make new ones right in the field, as they follow the Harvester "caravans" northward from beginning to end of the harvesting seasons. The farms of North Carolina are the proving grounds for the Company's harvesting machines."
