Summary
Photograph featuring a male worker in protective clothing pushing a wheeled container, known by employees as a tiffin, in the Kodak Australasia Pty Ltd factory, Coburg.
A tiffin, aka a tin coffin, was a light proof storage box used widely by Kodak around the world for their light sensitive film products. Here the tin bogie or base of the tiffin is seen, with its round cover attached to it, to transport film and paper products safely.
This is Slide 138 from the 'Extra Prints of Coburg Lecture' album which contained hundreds of images of the factory and its workers which could be used with a slide presentation titled 'A Look At Kodak Coburg Australia', issued by the Photo Information Services Department at Kodak Australasia Pty Ltd, circa 1960s.
