Title	Watt Car and Wheel Company Employee Photographs
Subject	Business and Labor Transportation Employees Laborers
Place	Barnesville (Ohio) Belmont County (Ohio)
Description	Four photographs show employees of the Watt Car and Wheel Company of Barnesville, Ohio. The first photograph captures a factory scene; the second shows the engineering department, and a group of workers pose for the camera in the third photo. The final image shows a laborer with a mine car. These images were taken from glass plate negatives and measure approximately 8.25 by 6.5 inches (20.96 by 16.51 cm). The company began in 1862 when Joseph Watt and his son James started a small foundry to produce plow points. By the end of the decade, the company was producing larger items such as cook stoves and parlor stoves and had begun making mining car wheels. Four more of the Watt brothers also joined the company. In 1878, the Watt brothers began to build complete mining cars. By the end of the century, the company was shipping mining cars all over the world.
