The focus is on the bale breakers, where, on the left (entrance) side of one machine, a worker is loading cotton into it, and on the right (delivery) side, there is a worker observing the cotton as it is churned out onto a conveyor belt. The two other workers are handling the cotton bales and pushing cotton around on a cart. The bale breakers were made by the Kitson Machine Shop, Lowell, Mass. 18 x 9 cm.
