OLD STEAM POWERED MACHINE SHOP 25

Line shafts and 100 year old leather belting powered by steam run a shop that I put together to depict a typical small machine shop operation of 1920s. This is a time before electric power tools, CNC, & digital read outs. Lindbergh was flying the mail and thinking about a transatlantic solo flight. No. 25 in the series shows boring and sleeving a single cylinder gas engine block, making a wrist pin for the Morris Machine Works vertical engine under restoration, and repairing a cast iron flat belt pulley which will be used as the driven pulley for the large steam engine when it is assigned to run the shops main shaft (next video).
