wow, hell of a big service bay. 1932 Goodyear service station, San Francisco.



The garage area had two pits where gas fumes would settle, creating a fire hazard. Pits were banned and grease monkeys began to use hoists in the new service garages.  The "large round thing cast in concrete" was probably an exhaust fan with an explosionproof motor.
