Description
Unidentified workers bend a section of pipe. This is achieved by placing a fire inside an oven by the center of the pipe to heat the steel. Then the ends are pulled together with cables attached to the "cold" end of the pipe. From the scrapbook War Emergency Pipelines, Inc: Construction Views - First Section of East Texas-East Coast Pipeline.
