Description
A group of workers bend a section of pipe cold along Section Number 3. Cold bending is accomplished by placing a Caterpillar in the middle to hold the pipe in place. Then a Caterpillar is placed on either end on the opposite side to pull the other direction. The Caterpillar on the left is holding the pipe in place and the other Caterpillars are pulling the ends. From the scrapbook War Emergency Pipelines, Inc: Construction Views - First Section of East Texas-East Coast Pipeline.
