Caption: "Starrett Tool Works, Athol, Massachusetts. Sept. 6, 1934." The Starrett Tool Works was founded in 1880, when Laroy Sunderland Starrett started a tool shop in Athol. He later expanded the facility, until by 1906 the company employed more than 1,000 workers in the manufacture of precision tools. By the time Starrett died in 1922, the company had achieved global recognition, establishing offices in more than a dozen countries. Starrett is still in operation today.

Caption: "Carquinez Bridge, Crockett, California. Oct. 9, 1934." This photograph shows the original Carquinez Bridge, built to span the Carquinez Strait and thereby contribute to a direct route between Sacramento and San Francisco. The steel cantilevered bridge, designed by Robinson & Steinman, was constructed in 1927. It is no longer extant, having been replaced by two parallel bridges constructed in 1958 and 2003. The structure of the original bridge was removed in 2007. See also 96-07-08-alb04-004.
