As usual, Wayne, thanks for some absolutely incredible video of an amazing operation! 
Just watching those two guys at shift change gave me a renewed appreciation for the difficulty I had at the end of the work day, pushing back from the drawing board and getting up from my nicely upholstered chair! I never ever gave a thought to how lucky I was to have the kind of job that I did, one that taxed my brain every day and held my attention but didn't send me crawling down the block for a shot of Old Nasty Butt and a mug of Panter Pee Lager draft!
The filth of the workplace was made up for by the boring ness of the tasks ... no wonder those guys stopped at the absolute stoke of five!
Thanks, Wayne! You opened my eyes to some incredible machinery from back when we actuall manufactured the best steel in the world! Bethlehem Steel!
Spoken like a true Pennsylvania boy!
