Newscopy: "One hundred and 53 feet above street level, Steeplejack Ralph Clark dangles in mid air to inspect a six foot overhang on the roof of the Southern Pacific Building at 65 Market-st. Mr. Clark, the city's best known steeplejack, is inspecting the entire building for possible loose plaster or terra cotta. Only way to inspect the overhang was to clamber over the side and dangle below it while taking photographs. Eddie Murphy, chief cameraman for The News, being more cautious (and anyway, he gets dizzy easy) snapped this picture from a ninth-floor balcony. The building is 11 stories high."
