The moving of a 123 Ton Transformer up into the hills of Wales (near

for the final few miles to the power plant. The transformer was designed with the route it takes in mind to clear obsticles and low clerances of tunnels and bridges. And how they transfer it from rail to road is striking.

I found this one last night in that rabbit hole you sent me down. There’s a related vid involving four Scots that’s pretty fun too.

These shorts are such a good look into 60s GB it isn’t funny.

I wonder if that’s where the term to be screwed over comes from.

Such happier times for British engineering.
They used to build cranes in my home city up till 1987 at Cowans Sheldon. They exported them all around the world and made 532 railway turntables (the largest being of 30 metres in diameter in China), the largest dockside crane in the U.K. and in 1933 built the worlds largest floating crane for the Japanese navy.

A more mature person than me wouldn’t have snickered nearly so much at all the screwing over and jacking going on in this film. I chuckled a little when the bullet ends thrust past the load too.
It is amazing watching movies of old projects and seeing how things were done back in the day.
