Although the copyright title places the film in the Westinghouse Air Brake Co., the Biograph Co. prod. records [MI] indicate that the film was shot May 10, 1904, at the Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Company. Comparison of this film with another film, Westinghouse Air Brake Co. Westinghouse Co. works (casting scene), would suggest, however, that the film was indeed filmed at the Air Brake Co.
