Well, one of the many- giant forging presses, also has links to other
giant-metal goodness, such as-
details on 'the fifty'
http://files.asme.org/asmeorg/commun...marks/5488.pdf
and an online 1919 book on the Mesta Machine company which made 'the
fifty'

The before-and-after pics of huge titanium forgings (15 feet by a
foot) alone is worth the trip... (unless it's mislabeled and is
'merely' aluminum)

Fascinating stuff, Dave.
Thanks
