Note on back of photograph: "DOME ASSEMBLY (2) - The lifting of the progressively larger dome segment is accomplished by five men, each operating a winch mounted near the base of a ginpole. At one stage of assembly, the weigh divided among the five ginpoles is approximately 16,000 lbs.; the lift of 20 feet is accomplished in less than an hour. Thus, no heavy crane apparatus or scaffolding is required for dome field assembly."
