Description

Factory workers look on as a mobile crane places a new 'refueling launch' on to a jinker for haulage down to the bay, Slazenger's, Alexandria, Sydney. The vessel has been built for the Australian Army by Slazenger's, the peace-time tennis racquet manufacturers, at the factory at Alexandria, some distance from the water.
