I "think" that is a poised picture, the men in the picture don't look like factory workers.

It's a posed photo, but look at the size of that building and the numbers of shells and personnel. If it was taken in modern day, it would take a skilled guy using Photoshop to come up with something like this.

The phallic symbolism is way too obvious- even for 1917...

Googled "Theodore Budd's Bog at Turkeytown", which doesn't naturally point to any one particular situation.
Don't venture a search there if you want a pleasant morning read. Among other exploitations, Dear Mr. Budd used peckboxes of 10 quart capacity, not the correct volume of 8. . .

I think the larger ones were shipped off to the stores, you might not get them back. Also, the little ones being carried around would see rougher treatment.

These log haulers were fascinating vehicles. Here's a video of a restored Lombard hauler in motion...

Note the steersman out in front. He had a rope/bell system to communicate with the engineer manning the propulsion.

Over on MEM, Chris Rueby has built a highly detailed, operating model of this machine. This video shows it in operation in his driveway...

If you're interested in Chris' model, a complete build thread is located here...

His current project is an even more complex model of a Marion steam shovel. Build thread here...

Chris's Marion 91 Steam Shovel

WARNING: Both of these build threads are extremely deep rabbit holes. However, if you're interested in seeing how a master craftsman models a complex machine from scratch, these introductions will blow your mind.
