Challenge 933: The steam drill
The Charles Burrell Museum in Thetford, Norfolk, contains a small but interesting collection of mainly steam-driven machines. I was particularly impressed by this steam-powered drill, which looks like a mighty piece of equipment. (I was perplexed by the No One placard for a while, before I realised what it really meant.) Can you show me it in action? High res is here.  |

Challenge 933: The steam drill
driling This is a fine example of a belt driven drilling machine and an even better example of poor sign usage !! (No one ) should be with a raised 'O', I don't know how to that on my keyboard ! I think they should have left it with the machines large '1' on the main casting. All the best from Neale. |

Re: Challenge 933: The steam drill
Thanks Mariner and Ben - when I first saw that I went blank for ideas and decided not to to try it. As far as the "No One" my guess is it's an abbreviation for "Number One" (work station ?) |

Thanks Gordon - great animation with lots of moving parts and good sound effects - just needs a few sparks and smoke now to top it off |
