I find this shot incredible. Many others too mind. But the debris! Paint plaster rot rot and more rot. What rot it piles up so much rot. It amazes me that an adbandoned structure does this. It must be the absences, say heat maybe, more n likely.
I work and visit many old working structures. This just doesn't happen, to this degree. Yet I've seen it time again in your work and others.

Shun me and I die.

Alas, tis sad, Craftsmanship is dead in this country. But then why not. Just go to Wal Mart and buy it from China. It's cheap, like everything else these days. But I said it was cheap didn't I? That what you want right? Must be, they're the largest corp in the World. Maybe they'll build one here!

Seems to be missing the upper ram plate as well. Poor old thing!

This Press is very similiar to a 500 ton we still use. 500 ton being the max stamping force. Though we often have tricks to exceed this. These old presses are well built. Ours is built 8 feet into the floor mostly for support. also an air cussion is housed below. This one is missing parts. The lower bolster "table" is gone, as are the upper crankshafts and motorr. Probably sold as spares.

Stamp a big heavy old fender, No problem!
