Title: Workers Apply Latex Backing to Carpet
Description: Workers in a carpet factory apply latex backing to hold yarn in place. The workers are standing on a slightly raised platorm, and the carpet is being fed vertically, horizontally across rollers, and then vertically again. Large spools of yarn in a variety of colors can be seen, and large industrial lights hang from the ceiling. Photo caption reads, "Dalton carpetmaking plants abound with sights like this. In finishing operation, latex applied to backing locks dense pile of yarn into place. (Monsanto Company Photo)"
