Photograph. Black and white photo showing a supervisor who is using a headset in order to coordinate the work efforts for the construction of aerial power lines across the Detroit River. The aerial power lines formed an interconnection between the Delray electric power plant in Detroit and the Ontario Hydro J. C. Keith Generating Station in Windsor, Ontario. A button on his belt shows the number, "1177," and "The Detroit Edison Company, Holder of Temporary Permit" which may indicate that he is a contractor rather than a direct employee of Detroit Edison.
