[TheForge] Power Hammer Videos2

[theforge@mailman.qth.net]

They are the best that I have seen to date of early industrial.   These 
came up on a group devoted to shapers (of the metal variety).  The 
poster couldn't even look at them due to their size, but was nice enough 
to post the link in case others could.  If I find more I will post them. 
  There are a few out there that I have seen on riveting a steel 
building frame together that are close in quality.   I will look for 
that link again.    I love the orchestrated pandemonium in the forge 
welding and steam hammer videos.  

if you go to : http://memory.loc.gov/mbrs/westhpp/    you will find a 
directory of the rest of the movies (these included) from the old 
westinghouse factory.  The MPG's are the best quality, but if you are 
bandwidth limited, then quicktime may be better, there is an incredible 
difference in quality though.   Most of the other movies are to do with 
steam engines and motors.  There is one of probably 100 victorian women 
punching out at the end of the day, one after another thats kinda neet 
too.    If you don't have broadband, have a friend with broadband pull 
down the first ste of videos and burn you a CD.
