Period detail
The colour stock and blue cast match mid-1960s home movies, and the plain dark work clothes and absence of visible harnesses may show period working practice.
Film character
Small-gauge colour film with a heavy blue-violet cast, fine grain, dust specks, a handheld upward view and a soft dark shadow that clears after two seconds.
Historical context
Privately owned antenna and radio towers were a familiar sight in mid-century America, and this reel records one being assembled by a small crew of men.
Research note
The men are not identified and their faces are not readable; copyright in the film is separate from any likeness or property interest in the tower and its site.
