Photograph Information

written in pen on back of photo: "I took this photo of two Caterpillar Sixty tractors running on test (?) at Peoria Ill. facotry end of 1928. This was the regular test (?) before painting. The tractor is running on two steel channels. well oiled. sawdust around to absorb the oil - and the tractor is anchored by its drawbar to the structure and channels. Tractor would run about an hour. This would free up everything as well as detect any problems. June 28, 1970." Stamped G. Rosekilly Machinery Box 752 San Mateo, California.
