Cookman Collection #1

June 30, 1934

A cat tractor is pulling a road grader along the edge of a graveled road at an oblique angle from right to left in this image. One man is driving the cat while another is operating the grader. The steel wheels of the grader are heavily tilted to counter the force of the large amount of material being moved by the grader blade. Close inspection reveals the unusual steering wheel control of the cat and the three control wheels on the grader to adjust various settings of that machine.
