Tending the Engine
These chaps are taking a break for a photo while tending a steam engine. The drive belt disappears off the left edge of the photo. A good supply of wood to stoke the fire is scattered at their feet. A slack belt attached to a buzz saw is visible to the right of the engine. The cut wood almost has the look of old fence rails. Note the oil can that the centre chap is carrying. No grease fittings or sealed bearings in those days, just oil cups and lots of them.
