The machine is sitting on top of a pile of rubble - all that remains of Public Weighbridge No 1 on St Vincent Crescent. It was being demolished in preparation for building on what is today Minerva Way. The actual weighbridge can be seen in the foreground. In the far distance is the Finnieston Crane. Up until 1960 the area behind the weighbridge was Stobcross Goods and Mineral Yard, with many railway sidings. Scanned from a Kodachrome colour reversal (slide) film.
