Rust


Every time I see old machinery like this, I wonder how many people have been injured in trying to do a quick repair, etc.

  1. While I wonder at that (injuries) I also marvel at the complexity of these things - gears and belts and chains, levers and pedals. Who could think of these things? And make them work!

  3. They weren't nearly as careful about safety in those days.

  4. Lovely rusty rustiness...it's hard to believe how poor health and safety compliance was just a few decades ago.

  14. That is certainly something to think about. It seems that in years gone by people were not always very cautious.

  15. A neat shot of this old rusty machinery. As a kid, I remember farmers getting arms and legs caught in tractor mounted corn pickers when they tried to quickly clear jams.
