"PAINTING WITH COMPRESSED AIR IN A TRACTOR PLANT
By the time the tractor reaches this booth on the assembly line, everything is in place except the wheels, which are put on just beyond the paint booth. Gray paint is sprayed on by compressed air. After the wheels are put on, the line passes through a drying tunnel 110 feet long, in which the temperature is maintained at 150 degrees."
