Series 3. Photograph Collection 1891-1929

Series Scope and Contents

The photographs in this series are pasted in albums with Lippincott's handwritten numbers and captions. When this collection was first processed in 1999, processing staff transcribed photograph titles directly from these handwritten captions. The photo album titles were also transcribed from Lippincott's own titles.
Several photograph titles reference outdated geographic names that include racial slurs. UCR Library has chosen to keep and add context to Lippincott's use of harmful language in these titles. The titles reflect the place names in use at the time the photographs were taken. They also give information about how Lippincott organized and annotated his photographs. In 2022, notes on specific photographs were added to the finding aid for further context, including current place names where available. Photographs vary in size.
Further particulars are as follows: "Buttes Dam photographs", one album, undated; "Colorado River trip photographs", one album, dated December 1925; "Henshaw Dam - Escondido Ditch photographs", two albums, photos dated 1922 to 1929; "Klamath Project photographs - California, Oregon", two albums, dated 1906; "J.B. Lippincott photographs", three albums, photos dated 1899 to 1919; "Los Angeles Aqueduct photographs", two albums, photos dated 1906 to 1912; "United States Geological Survey photographs", four albums, photos dated 1895 to 1906; "Miscellaneous photographs", three albums, photos dated 1908 to 1930.
The following notes are used in the listing:
  1. MISSING -refers to a number and/or title for which there is no picture or the complete omission of a sequence of numbers and respective pictures.
  2. NO TITLE -refers to a picture (or pictures) without caption.
  3. NST -refers to a picture (or pictures) which has no separate title but which is placed under a preceding inclusive title.

General view of hogbox at Englewood Dam. The materials are dumped from trains consisting of 12 yard, air-dump cars, seen on the right, washed into a central pump by jets of water from 2 1/2 inch nozzles under 60 lbs. pressure, elevated by two 15 inch welded steel pipe lines onto dam. The cars are loaded by means of large type drag line excavator 1445 June 10, 1919

Box 77

General view of outlet at Lockington Dam, looking downstream. The structure is completed except for crosswell. The latter will contain two conduits through its base, and carry a spillway crest on top, 16 feet lower than top of dam. The retaining walls as seen are 78 feet high above the conduit floors, and slope off to match the face of the earth dam. In foreground, hopper and inclined belt used in conveying materials to gravel sashing and screening plant. Dam will be 6400 ft. long; average width at base, 410 ft.; height above valley floor 69 ft.; maximum discharge capacity of outlet conduits (basin full to spillway level) 8,800 sec. ft.; concrete in outlet structures to date 28,223 cubic yards; yardage in earth dam when completed 1,135,000 cubic yards 1446 July 10, 1919

Box 77

General view of east portion of Englewood Dam, showing hydraulic fill in process of construction. At left, hogbox and dredge pumps, with 15-inch pipe lines extending up the embankment for sluicing the materials. The dragline excavator is used for building up the cross dike along the east bank of the Stillwater River. The latter is seen in foreground, most of its flow having been diverted through the new outlet conduits of the dam 1447 August 26, 1919

Box 77

The hydraulic pump pool for stilling the outflow from the outlet conduits at the Lockington Dam, looking downstream. The lower weir is 107'4" long. The conduits from which the water will issue are to be 9' wide each by 9'2" high 1448 June 1919

Box 77

General view of construction camp at Germantown Dam. Of the 43 buildings seen, three are remodeled farm buildings and the balance of temporary construction were built by the district. From 150 to 200 men are employed on the dam and live in this camp, many of them with their families. The large building at the left is the mess house; the remodeled barn with cupola in center is the field office. The schoolhouse provided by the district is not shown 1449 October 21, 1919

Box 77

Hydraulic fill at Englewood Dam in process of construction. The derrick marks the location of the hogbox and dredge pumps. The gravel washing and screening plant is seen in left background, on the opposite bank of the river 1450 April 12, 1919

Box 77

Upstream portals of outlet conduits for Englewood Dam. The conduits are 709 feet long, 13 feet wide each, and have a temporary vertical inside diameter of 22 1/2 feet. This gives them a large capacity for handling flood water during construction. After the earthwork is completed the vertical diameter will be reduced to 10 1/2 feet by filling the bottom portion with earth, and placing a concrete floor at the proper elevation. At left, the placing of earth in the portion of the dam east of the Stillwater River, is seen in progress. The cross dike along the river, for controlling the hydraulic fill beyond, is being built up by a dragline excavator, the materials being brought to the site by trains of dump cars. Dam will be 4716 feet long average width at base 739 feet; height above valley floor 110.5 ft.; height of crest above top of concrete outlet conduits 107 ft.; max. discharge capacity (basin full to spillway level) 12,000 sec. ft.; concrete in entire outlet structure 19,000 cu. yds 1451 July 28, 1919

Box 77

Hydraulic giants washing down materials for the Lockington Dam. Various sized nozzles are in use, the largest being 4 inches. At the Lockington Dam and Germantown Dam, the straight hydraulicking process is used, while at the other three dams a combination process requiring the materials to be hauled in from a distance in 12-yard dump cars is required 1452
