As ever, the factory shots very interesting. Esp the cranks. I don’t suppose Phoenix stomp them out quite so fast. Presumably the frenetic pace everywhere was not maintained. There must have been many accidents. And fumes would take a toll. No safety glasses.
For anyone that may be interested, steel casting was/is not widely used. There was a more expensive version of Record vices in steel rather than high strength iron. Included in the wording on side. I understand Ford 10 and V8 cranks were cast steel. The frames for American steam locos, bogey frames, and the turrets and bodies of some tanks cast steel
