I was told by a shipyard machinist one time that the lathe is the only tool that could reproduce itself, with the help of man of course...

I notice the overhead jackshafts for pulley belts are absent in picture 40 of the FN Herstal production. I see electric light fixtures but cannot tell if there are any electric powered tools in place.

The last DWM photos do show equipment with electric motors.

Neat stuff
