Scope and content
Interior Dravis Engineering. A man stands alone before a large piece of machinery in the Dravis Engineering & Machine Works shop on August 22, 1954. This could possibly be the owner of the business, Frederick Dravis. The large shop is crammed full of machinery; Dravis Engineering was a licensed mechanical engineering concern who dealt in marine and general machine design, construction and repair. They were a long-time Tacoma business, formerly known as the Hicks-Bull Machine Co., Inc., and had been located on Dock Street since 1912. They may have moved into their present address in 1920.
