He wears a hard hat and his proper right arm is raised above his head, as if directing the movement of the pulley. Behind him, on his proper right side, is a smaller-sized man and two smokestacks with billowing smoke. The central relief panel depicts a man in business suit, jacket and tie. He holds an open book in his proper left hand and a pick in his proper right hand. There are three objects place on a ledge before him. Behind him on his proper right side is a man reaching up to adjust the controls of a smokestack. The relief panel of the right depicts a man with his back to the viewer. He holds an

in his proper right hand, and behind him, a smaller-sized man is seen drilling into the ground. Smoke surrounds both figures, although there is no smokestack in this panel.
