Description:

Black and white photograph taken overlooking work to convert building "B" of the Ford River Rouge Factory Complex from manufacture of Eagle Boats to that of automobiles. Workers fill in the strips along the center of the aisles where the tracks that supported the boat's carriages ran, so that they can be replaced with tracks for automotive assembly lines. Piles of dirt and wood run along the open strips. "26782-5-27-19," is printed in the lower right corner of the recto, and "3C-2," is handwritten on the verso. The photo is mounted on a linen backing.
