Guest T-Head Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 We found this incredible film from the Library of Congress (click here to watch it) in it a group of menforge weld one area of a large ring. They use the heat from a fire and weld it the old fashioned blacksmith way, after multiple heats and much hand and steam hammering. Take a few minutes to watch this fascinating look back at how it was done well over 100 year ago. The ring is presumably a piece of a generator or motor.The film was made by the American Mutoscope and Biograph Company during 1904 and filmed by camera man, G.W. “Billy” Bitzer. The film above was shot on April 18, 1904, at the Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Co. in East Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lincoln54Capri Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 That's a great video. They're working with extremely hot steel but not one of those guys was wearing gloves.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
