| Title | Cement Block Pour Preparations |
| Description | Typical block being prepared for a five-foot "lift" of concrete - note cooling pipes on top. This scene shows typical operations for preparing the blocks for another pour of concrete from the four-yard buckets lifted by cranes from the placing trestle and brought to the cells to unload their cargo. Notice another concrete innovation that allowed a stronger structure, the cooling pipes that would prevent cracks and warped dimensions of the cells due to overheating. |
