Although the photo is damaged, the traditional arrangement of the copy desk can be seen with the person doing the job of 'slot' sitting in the hole of the desk to the left. The slot man oversaw and distributed stories to be edited. The men working as 'rimmers' are sitting on the outside of the table copyediting stories.
