High-quality black-and-white photographs of large old machines and tools

[Jon]

Large black-and-white photographs of old machines are some of the most popular posts in the work crews thread, so I figured they merited their own thread.

Specifically, large high-quality images that we can enlarge, examine, print, frame, etc. Click on an image for the fullsize version, then you usually click on it again in your browser to see it at its maximum size.

The Library of Congress website is a good place to search for these. For a specific image, you can check the download options (in the lower-left corner of the photo frame) to see if there's a large filesize photo available for download.

A good start is the 50,000 ton Wyman-Gordon press, constructed in 1955. Grafton, Massachusetts.
