A massive machine with a metal door stands tall, showcasing the intricate architecture and manufacturing capabilities of the factory. Workers in hardhats and helmets can be seen near a car and coil, adding to the transportation and motor theme. The spiral rotor and spoke design make it look almost otherworldly, hinting at the possibilities of outer space and astronomy. Taken during a 2009 vacation in San Francisco, this photo captures the wired and innovative nature of the SLAC facility.
