Bessemer converter
by trixie
It reminds me of the mangol worzol that I used to work on converting mangols into fodder for them cows. Huge cog wheels.
Well!! That's the nearest I got to machinery in the 1930/40's
Seriously. Being in the rural sticks somehow does nothing for my education on how it was in heavy industry.
This looks frightening to work with. But it was the norm for workers in those days.
Super shot, Trixie. Detail brilliant. You are certainkly getting there.
Interesting story behind this Trixie, i feel as though i've been back to school lol, but seriously it is a sad story that so much of our industry has now passed, one of the reasons why i love Lowry's paintings.
I prefer this version, the angle is more interesting.
Thank you my friend, cheers Trixie
