Big Four Repairmen Manipulate Powerful Machines

WlTen the hammer comes down the earth shakes as if one of the-

giants of old were beating the ground. sA lot of force is being applied to the white hot metal, but the workmen think no more of it than a stenographer does of pounding out a letter for the boss. Although the hammer applies terrific force, yet Its mechanism is so delicately adjusted and the men who control it become so expert they can let it come down full force on an egg and stop it without doing more than crack the shell. A favorite trick to amuse (?) visitors is to borrow a watch and let the hammer come down on the time-piece, stopping it Just as it touches the crystal. The giant hammer is right next to a little travelling crane which is used to pick up a huge loco-
