Description
A view of the work bench for the Liberty truck engineers. Some of the materials pictured are vices, drawers, and assorted tools. These facilities were common for each engine group in the laboratory. In the photo there is a man working on an engine for the Liberty Truck on the left side of the photo. Beginning on April 11, 1918, the University instituted a training program for automobile and gas engine mechanics. Seven barracks that could house 1,000, a mess hall that could seat 2,000, an administrative building and the Y.M.C.A. Hospitality House were built on the hill above O'Hara Street. Within six months, 2,200 men were being trained.
