Ran across this video of a steam powered box factory - in operation since 1897. The first half has some good shots of the steam engine, the second half is mostly about box making.

That was an absolutely amazing video.The pattern stamping machine was just brilliant.

It's astounding to me that so many of these fringe factories that are a throwback to the past exist in America, in OZ worksafe would have shut down a factory like that years ago. Really great seeing such hands-on work still being done. Thanks for putting the video up!

cheers, Ian
 
Machine guarding?!?! What's that?

I love the woman starting up the steam engine with her long hair that could get caught up in any bit of rotating machinery.
