Captions: Verso: Bad Ischl, Austria. 8/77. Josef Mulleger demonstrates the technique of `Zimentieren? (determining the percentage of salt in the saline solution (Sol)) in the `Sondenfeld,? where drilling rigs bring up 80 000 cubic metres of `Sol? per year, as compared to 200 000 cubic metres in the old-fashioned Ischl Salt Mine. You don?t have to be a professional mathematician to figure out that the romantic life in the salt mines will soon be relegated to history books.Markings:Verso: Bad Ischl, Austria. 8/77.
