A man in white pants and a light shirt stands beside a Caterpillar bulldozer at a construction site in Cumberland, Maryland, in 1938. Shot on 8mm film, the black-and-white footage captures the worker observing the heavy machinery on a clear day. The scene shows the bulldozer's blade and tracks in a muddy, outdoor setting with trees in the background. The grainy, vintage quality and film edges evoke a nostalgic, archival feel from the late 1930s.
