Steam engine driven saw machine - Vestingdagen (Hellevoetsluis/NL)
A steam engine uses a heavy flywheel to drive a huge belt that supplies machine power to a sawing machine connected further away. Thick tree trunks quickly turn into beams in the sawing machine, a somewhat smaller steam crane brings in new trees to be sawn.
An entire undertaking with enormously heavy machines that require a great deal of skill and an eye for safety from the drivers....
