Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: industrial, methodical; themes: construction, engineering, labor, industrial process; style notes: wide shot establishing scale, close-up on machinery, medium shot showing human interaction with equipment; high-contrast lighting typical of outdoor documentary footage

A large cylindrical container is transported via cable over a canyon and then emptied into a concrete form at a construction site. Workers are present near the form as the container is lowered and its contents dumped.

“Bucketful after bucketful ran the continuous cycle.” 9:50 · “Mixing plant to canyon rim, out into mid-air over the gorge,” 9:54 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.
