DescriptionA man in a plaid shirt stands beside a large piece of machinery in an interior. A thick cable runs around a drum. Pipes with several valves run along a brick wall at the right. A small metal door appears to open into a chute. Metal containers, at least one of which may be an oil can, are on the floor in the foreground.
