Cutting and turning a big gun
Pennell, Joseph, 1857-1926 · 1916
"All the week I was in this shop the big gun stood there on a great trestle, and all the while the great lathe or plane kept turning and turning at the end of it; once in a while a man would look at it, or do something to it, or pick up steel shavings, but all the while the machine kept turning, and all the while nothing seemed to happen - but I suppose it did; it was all silent, ceaseless force." Joseph Pennell.
