    Using people of 90 years ago for scale is misleading, humans were shorter then.
    So get a load of the wrench in lower left. Both guys could stand in it around their waists. Or the crane block, the chain has enormous pitch. I like the clamping collars supporting the upper casting. Imagine placing them and positioning them individually, not to mention 2 halves and studs tying them together.
    Hard work but I'd have liked it.
