Scope and content
This photograph shows a long Medical Service train being disinfected with a pipe attached to each car, as described by the German note written on the reverse of the photograph. "This is a picture of the disinfection operation. Alongside the train you see a pipe, and from this main pipe smaller pipes extend upward to enter each car through the windows. The main pipe is connected to a generator from which it is directed into the cars. Eight cars are disinfected at a time. It takes about twenty minutes. The temperature forced into the cars ia about 60 degrees. The insects all perish." This picture also appears in the book Mennonite Alternative Service in Russia by Lawrence Klippenstein and Jacob Dick, on page 80 where it is identified as Medical Train No. 208 at Baku. This is the same photograph as number 686-85.
