Wheelbarrow race, 1927

Each team consists of two boys, one of whom is the "wheelbarrow" by using his hands on a set of wheels, while his legs are held by the other boy. Spectators watch from the sidelines, most likely as part of a "Field Day" organized by the Draper Corporation for Draper Corporation employees. Founders of the Draper Company, brothers George and Ebenezer were responsible for creating an integrated, planned community with innovative employee housing and recreational spaces and company events, in addition to employment.
