    Notice it's surrounded by floor plates; most of the operating gear and immense concrete foundation. What isn't below, of course is above, such as cylinders above ram, and ladder on right side. Guessing this press rated at 1500 ton, not sure dieset makes, but these presses and larger very prevalent in the auto industry.

    Going by the model #, it is a 3000 ton x 20' between columns.

    Love your photo of "The Little Giant" - Ismabard Kindgom Brunel. What a Victorian engineering genius!
