Unloading the observing gallery for the 60-inch telescope (1931 March 18)

The Boyden Observatory site seen from just east of the 13-inch building, looking south-west. In the foreground, two large, long wooden shipping crates lie in the veldt. One is partially on an unidentified machine. The crates are marked with the HCO symbol, details of size and weight, destination ("EAST LONDON / SOUTH AFRICA") and identification numbers ("CASE 1902" and "CASE 1904"). Several people are visible. In the immediate foreground is an unidentified strip of sheeting of some kind. In the background, the enclosures for the Bache, 3-inch, and 10-inch Metcalf can be seen, as well as two support pillars for the roof of the 13-inch. Several electricity poles are seen. A large corner of the photograph, which has a sepia-like tint, is missing. Written on the back of the print: "1931 March 18 / Harvard Kopje / Unloading the 60(inch) telescope Observing gallery". n/a.
