Loved the guy forging the boiler drum for a Russian power station on a 7k ton press. |

They make it easy with a download link then its just a matter of converting the MP4's. I'm so sad I actually buy BFI DVD's made up of these things. "Stone To Steel" is a colour film about the S****horpe Steel Works as it was in 1960 although if you didn't know where it was, you might think it was in the USSR. Part 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcE3ji2q7XQ There's a link to part 2 at the side Part 2 gets a bit weird near the end and there's a bit in the rolling mill where they're throwing twigs and bits of dead bushes onto the billets as they're about to go through the rollers. However it's at this stage that the film goes a bit "symbolic" and so maybe that explains it. michael adams .... michael adams .... |

If you are also interested in farming and country history, the University of East Anglia released an archive a couple of years ago. "Village in the Wheatfields" was one such film, and there are several showing agricultural development post-war. I can supply a link, if wanted. -- Davey. |
