Wow that big ole Fairbanks Morse in the beginning of the video has some massive blow-by past the rings going on. Seen that puff of smoke blow out of the back side of the cylinder when she popped off. And thought wow I was kinda stunned I haven't seen that before. Bet it took a whole whole lot of hours running at full capacity to wear them rings like that. GOD bless every one of you! I would have thought that fella on the dragline would have demonstrated how the thing works. A lot of folks can't imagine that. Just watching the bucket go up and down don't demonstrate nothing.
Where and when is this held in Florida? Kept watching t see if a Lunenberg foundry make and break would appear. Thanks to RUclips for the suggested video.
It would have really been nice if the camera man would have stopped for just a minute or two at least to show how these machines worked and maybe explained some things. Or let the folks displaying the machines explain. All we got here was a well we walked through and there was some old stuff. Well time to go home!
Love these old machines. Thanks.

Up and down gets turned into round and round.
