Throwing Chain! Oil Drilling Rig and Roughnecks, 1949 | 16mm Film Scan

Description: Short silent 50 foot Kodachrome reel (1949) from an oil drilling rig belonging to "Arrow Drilling" company. There seem to be quite a few companies that have been named that, so unsure of the specific one. It *may* be in Canada, as the film reel itself had a Canadian patent date, but the film didn't have any markings on the edge code indicating it was film stock produced in Canada. Showcases workers 'throwing the chain' and more.
