Summary[edit]

Description

Our circa 1920 #TBT pic shows a pretty happy guy loaded up with a variety of items for a day of field work. Our best guess at what parcels he may be carrying includes a surveying tripod in his left hand and a box containing a level. We suspect that the outer most box on the right is a current-meter box. The other box in his right hand is a match for the size and shape of a very early Gurley "Dumpy" Level. He likely would also have had an assortment of writing tablets, forms and files to use to compile information in the field. The leather case around his neck may have held his field notes notebook.
