Sondrestrom AB, Greenland.    Still more parts being loaded on a more pleasant ice cap day.  The wooden off loading platform has runners that allow it to be dragged away by the tractor after a load has been placed upon it.  Roller conveyors cover the platform as well as the floor of the C-130's cargo compartment to facilitate the rapid off-loading.   Caption by Bill Nichols.  (Circa 1959)
