Bales of cotton are being compressed in a massive 1932 steam-powered press into smaller bound bales for shipping in railroad cars. Sudan is in northwest Texas. Note the forklift at left edge of the drawing, delivering bound compressed cotton bales to the railroad cars just out the door of the plant. That huge press machinery was said to have three 80-inch cylinders driving it.
