Steam Hammer in use in Westinghouse factory - impressive looking footage. A large, glowing block is lifted from furnace with the help of a crane over to a table by a group of men. The big steam powered hammer comes from above and pounds down on the block repeatedly as the men turn the block several times so that it will acquire a certain shape.
