# Pipe of Plenty, The

SHOWS NEED FOR, AND CONSTRUCTION OF PIPELINE FROM BIG RAPIDS TO DETROIT, MICHIGAN. GOOD OUTDOOR CONSTRUCTION FOOTAGE, ALSO SHOTS OF GAS USERS. • 9:50:54:21- 9:51:04:02 Men move furniture into a new home which is identical to the dozens of small, red brick houses surrounding it. A woman stands outside one of the houses. Looks like a (lower) middle-class housing development. • 9:52:18:15- 9:52:26:27 More post war population boom housing developments. Men work on new houses in a newly developed community. All the houses are identical (small, red brick). • 9:53:06:18- 9:53:18:19 Nice image of a cylinder container holding gas. It is silver with red checkers at the top with what looks like a little water tower at the top. Small airplanes move around it. • 9:53:39:14- 9:54:40:04 Pan of large gas / coal (?) plant. We view containers of gas, buildings, tubing, etc... • 10:02:03:05- 10:02:17:12 Good shot of large trucks being loaded with long links of piping by a crane. Beautiful storm clouds move by. worth noting: Nice image of men inserting pipes into the ground—an A&P supermarket stands next to them. (10:10:19:03)
