Coal workers at the loading crane, 1937

In an open wagon a worker digs his shovel into a heap of coal and throws it into a riveted steel box; under the crane's gantry, with rails, chimneys and factory buildings behind, a man in a vest and shirtsleeves grips the box by its edge and guides it on its chains. The rearmament of 1936 and the Four-Year Plan had made coal scarce, and men who loaded it by hand were no longer out of work.
