PHOTOGRAPH: METTERS FACTORY - ENAMELLING PROCESS (BATHS)

1965
Overview

Black and white photograph of a bath being removed red hot from the oven (muffle) by means of a forklift, to be positioned on to a cradle. This cradle could turn and be tilted to allow excess enamel to run off. There is a grate in the lower left hand corner and enamel powder lying at the base of the cradle. In the lower right hand corner is a basin. Next to the open door of the oven is a map of Western Australia featuring a windmill advertisement. Metters' new enamelling works started operating in 1965.
