Panoramic view aisle B., Westinghouse Works
In 1904, Westinghouse Companies created a series of short movies depicting various enterprises. For this 2-minute piece, a movie camera mounted on an overhead crane creates a traveling view of a large, long aisle at Westinghouse Electric and Machine Company.
Men are busy performing various tasks on machinery, probably generators. Other men are walking down the aisle in all directions, and carts carrying items come and go. The film ends when the camera reaches the end of the aisle where windows and a large opening are. Rail tracks coming in through the opening are visible.
