How dark and dismal those old shops appear to be. Each man has a light fixture hanging above his head at his work station, and thats about all there is. The scene is well illuminated by the photographer, but without that it would be pretty dark in there.

If you notice the light bulbs aren't lit. The walls and ceiling were most likely white, which would reflect the light very well.

The same photo appeared in the American Machinist July 29 1909. Another photo in the same series is captioned "A machine made automobile tire. Rolling layers into place. Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, Akron, O." They didn't have the 218-50 catalog number on them. Don't know where Herbs came from but probably had a similar caption.
