The presses
Pennell, Joseph, 1857-1926 · 1916
"Before the press its master stands; a white-hot ingot is put in, the press comes down, and in a moment it is the body of a shell. The master seizes it with his tongs, standing black against the burst of steam; he whirls it round, and two men take it in their tongs and carry it off red-hot to the branders." J[oseph] P[ennell].
