A Beast
Love this photo. Imagine how hot and noisy it must have been in there. Looking at the mechanicals this thing is just itching to take your body apart if you venture in there at the wrong time. Today most of what you see here is a lot cleaner looking design wise. An engine turning some pumps forcing hydraulic oil through the works, being manipulated by electronics. The minds that come up with this stuff. Amazing.
Could it be?
Is that Mike Mulligan and Mary Anne?
