Three men and one tractor... looks "productive."
Reminds me of the story my Uncles would tell us about the Workers Progress Authority (WPA) during the Great Depression, which was a government "workfare" program. They'd say it was always 3 men watching the 1 man with the shovel.

Is that a big electric motor on the right side of the photo? Perhaps driving a shaft with 2 flywheels, and a small pinion gear for that monster gear? That monster generates some torque!!!
You can see the commutators and brushes on the right. The motor turns a flywheel and the smaller gears. The large gear drives a flywheel and the machine on the left...
