Prof. F. W. Lohr appears to be explaining a point to the group. They seem to be looking at the mould which is placed in trays (seen in foreground).
During his visit, Baron von Mirbach visited the various departments of the Institute. He visited IIT Madras a few months after the signing of the Second Indo-German agreement which aimed to establish 5 laboratories and complete the 20 laboratories which were in progress. The agreement was an effort to further the development of IIT Madras through a collaboration between India and Germany. A number of German professors were a part of IIT Madras by the time the second agreement was signed.
