A similar photograph of the construction of the All American Canal appears with the caption: “Like some unbelievable monster of the machine age is this enormous dragline working on the all-American canal eighteen miles from Calexico. This view taken from the top of the control house shows the enormous crane that handles the eight-cubic yard sand bucket. The canal cut is sixty feet deep here. In two months this dragline has moved 344,000 cubic yards of sand,” Los Angeles Times, 16 Mar. 1936: 10
