Here is a description of the image:

This sepia-toned photograph from April 22, 1897, documents a "Test of Transverse Strength of a 6-inch Gas Pipe." The scene is set indoors, possibly in a factory or workshop with high ceilings.

The primary subject is a large pipe, secured on a stacked wooden base in the foreground. The pipe appears to be under stress, potentially undergoing a bending test. In the background, there are two blurry figures standing next to the pipe in the background.

The setting is defined by a long row of vertical pillars or wooden supports on the left. The pillars line the wall and are spaced at intervals along the room's length. In contrast, the right side features a light-colored wooden wall. Light streams in from two bright windows at the end of the room, creating a diffused, hazy quality in the background.

In the lower left corner of the image, the number "#800" is written, likely an identifying mark. At the bottom right, "89 ½ LBS. APR 22'97" is written, probably indicating the weight and the date of the test.

Here's a description of the image:

Overall Impression:

The image is a sepia-toned photograph, likely taken in the late 19th or early 20th century. It depicts a test of a 6-inch gas pipe. The scene is set in a long, dimly lit room, possibly a workshop or testing facility.

Foreground:

  • The primary subject is a section of a 6-inch gas pipe. It's positioned horizontally and supported by a structure of wooden blocks, wedges, and planks.
  • The pipe's end is visible, appearing to have a wooden piece inserted.
  • The supports beneath the pipe appear to be designed for testing the pipe's strength.

Midground:

  • The room has a row of large vertical wooden pillars running along the left side of the frame.
  • A wooden handrail runs along the right side of the frame.
  • The pipe extends into the midground.

Background:

  • At the end of the room, there are windows that allow light to filter in, creating a bright area against the darker surroundings.
  • A few figures are visible in the background near the windows. They are likely observing the test.

Details & Markings:

  • The photograph is labeled with the text "TEST OF TRANSVERSE STRENGTH OF A 6" GAS PIPE" and "89 1/2 LBS." and "APR 22 '97" (date). These details indicate the purpose of the test and possibly the weight applied.
  • The number "#800" is written on the bottom left corner of the image.

Overall, the image portrays a moment of industrial testing, offering a glimpse into the procedures used in the late 19th/early 20th century to ensure the quality and durability of infrastructure components like gas pipes.
