The image showcases a group of skilled workers intently focused on trueing up the car wheels of a tram in a series of lathes. The lathes, arranged in a neat row, are located inside a spacious workshop, filled with an abundance of tools and machinery, reflecting the industrious spirit of the era. Belfast, the largest city in Northern Ireland, was a hub of transportation innovation during this time. The city's tram network played a significant role in its growth and development, providing a reliable and efficient means of transportation for its residents. The trams were a vital part of the city's infrastructure, connecting various neighborhoods and commercial districts.
