  Back when this image was made, a liquid Freon was used in a process that was labeled, "vapor degreaser." Since there is no exhaust hood this is a possibility. Chlorinated hydrocarbons such as trichloroethane and 1.1.1.trichloroethylene were also used as a degreaser but I'd expect an exhaust hood. So far as I know, neither of these would be allowed by regulatory laws in California today. The black drums in the forground may have readable labels that identify the degreasing material.
  
  Note the guy with the pendant-type crane control in the foreground.

  Year 1905 is in the notes. Many other RX-2 photos were shot on 05/25/1972, so I added that tag. Can't find a John Quaoy anywhere... John Quay?
