Men and trucks construct earthen coffer dams to divert a river and dry a construction site. Heavy machinery digs 135 feet below the old river level after the area is isolated by the dams.
“Men and trucks dumped an earthen rock embankment across the canyon below the tunnel openings” 6:48 · “A second earth and rock dam was thrown across the river above the tunnel outlets downstream” 7:00 automatic transcript, may be wrong
The record
US Government work The record names a federal body as the creating agency. A work prepared by an officer or employee of the United States Government as part of that person's official duties has no US copyright (17 U.S.C. 105; before 1978, section 8 of the 1909 Act). This says nothing about copyright outside the United States, or about music, stock footage or other material the film may incorporate. Evidence dossier. The finding concerns the US copyright record for the film; it is not clearance for any use, and this page's annotation is machine output.
