Mineral Technology Exhibit in the Arts and Industries Building (A&I), circa 1925. The hall depicted is most likely hall 11, which exhibited metallic and nonmetallic mineral industries as well as coal, petroleum and natural gas industries. The case in the foreground appears to be a model of the underground methods of extracting copper. The model in the background case is probably illustrating beehive coking methods of the coal industry. The cases along the perimeter walls depict raw materials such as coal, limestone and sulphur as well as manufactured goods and by-products of minerals and fuels such as glass, abrasives, asphalt and gas.
