Equipment

By 1936, the progress of building the dam was greatly accelerated with the arrival of new heavy equipment. The men now had excavators, dump trucks, caterpillar tractors, box sleds, and a pull-type grader.

The CCC camp had storage sheds for equipment during periods of bad weather and a special maintenance crew to keep it operating properly.

The grader on display here is the grader that was used in the dam construction.
