That is neat
Makes you wonder what happened to that little '28 Roadster.
At the John Deere Harvester Wks., Dept. 104, they do the big panel stampings. When the machines cycle and drop there is a loud boom and the floor shakes. The machines are set on 20 foot deep floor concrete pilings.
Anyway it is a bit more safe than that guy you were talking about that looked up into the presses and got squished. Those machines take four operators, two feeding the stock on one side and two taking the new part out on the other. To activate the press, both sets of hand buttons have to be pressed at the same time by two operators and you have to keep your hands on them thru the cycle. The buttons are set over your head high and you have to be away from the press before it will cycle, there are laser beams that will stop it the minute they are tripped.
No strawberry jam there today however in the old days they told me that the jam was flowing pretty regularly, lots of missing fingers/hands/arms.
