    sorry nobody else commented on this, but I think that seeing the process is pretty cool, and the print is beautiful.

      I love looking at all the details in these old photos. Looking in the background a lot of dollars worth of blades stacked up. These were the days before OHSA and they would have a field day with this.

      No eye protection
      No hearing protection
      No lifting aid
      No protective shielding
      No emergency shut off
      etc, etc, etc

      But considering the time, I bet many of these guys would probably rather have been on the war front vs at home do to medical reasons?
