Can you dig it?




To the left is an old shovel. They started out as steam shovels. This one is gas or diesel. Note the operation is all done with cable. This was long before hydraulic pump operated like today. My guess is that the one above is a huge cauldron for molten steel that could be dumped. The bottom looks like an ore carrier.
See the previous posting for the story.
