Title:
In the land of Brobdingnag : The armour plate bending press
Description:
"Only Swift never imagined and Gulliver never saw presses and ladles and chains and cranes like these; but I have seen them, and there is no imagination in my study of the press or the ladle. A press so powerful it will slowly bend the thickest plate. A ladle so big the men were lost in it." Joseph Pennell.
