DESCRIPTION |
|
Interior view of the workshop at Noakes Welding and Machine Shop in Corpus Christi, Texas. Three men stand in the center of a machine shop. The first man, Adolph Noakes, Jr., wears a business suit and tie. The two other men, Cornejo Castro and Nelson E. Noakes, Jr., wear dirty work clothes. Nelson Noakes is a cousin of Adolph, Jr. The presence of a central line shaft in the rear indicates this shop was powered by a centralized engine. This shaft was often left running all day. Power tools were hooked up to belts, which were powered by a line shaft that ran along the ceiling. Lathes are on the left and right. Note the gears on the floor. |
