One of the great things about the Heavy Press Program - besides the presses! - and the "Heavy" part - and the fact that it was an entire "Program" of multiple presses - was all of the accompanying tools. The world's largest machines also needed the world's largest loaders and world's largest manipulators and world's largest mandrels and world's largest tongs, etc., etc., etc. There were probably thousands of "world's largest" industrial records set in those factories.
