This collection contains film and photograph materials related to the Smithsonian Instituation documentary "The Last Wheel Works" about the wooden wheel factory of Hoopes Brothers & Darlington Inc. in West Chester, Pennsylvania. The collection includes a copy of the final documentary film, raw footage of the sawmill, office, and factory, and photography by Hagley Museum and Library staff photographer. This was done to document the factory before it closed. Photographs show the steps involved in the making of wooden wheels from the delivery of the logs to the finished project. Identified employees are shown operating woodworking machinery. There is also a copy of a 1928 fire insurance map of the factory, and an informal portrait of Thomas Hoopes, then head of the company.
