Description

This photograph has three images. The first one (0272_0059) has an inscription that reads, "Stiff leg crane. Workers getting stiff leg ready to work. To be a hook tender for this, on the dam, is a very tough job. It has its good points tho. Some days there's not much to do, and you are hung on upstream of the dam, where no one wants to take a chance, and climb down to see what you are doing." The second one (0272_0060) reads, "Riggers threading the steel cable on stiff leg." The third image (0272_0061) reads, "Stiff leg - Crane erected to pour Arizona intakes and this corner of the dam."
