That dump truck is photershopped fo sho!
The other thing looks insane.
The one I saw in Texas was bigger than PP's pic but the same type of equipment. It was like a six story building with a cab on top where the driver was and the chain links were Volkswagon sized. I was also able to see those dump truck HAULING ASS (really fast) up and down in the ridged roads inside the quarry.
Yup. Now that you point it out I do.

If anyone doubts this photo, I took the picture in late May 2016. The bars and cables are jump/suicide barriers at the Space Needle.

1919- Seattle, Washington. Stacks of lumber drying at the Seattle Cedar Lumber Manufacturing Company's mill in Ballard. Located just west of the Ballard Bridge, it was the largest in Ballard. At the mill, logs were cut into lumber which was then dried for at least nine months before being sold. The stacks of drying lumber were over 50 feet high. In this photo, a workman stands partway up one of the tall stacks of drying lumber.

I'm having difficulty finding any order to the trussing. I'm sure it's there, but definitely not easy to see.

With respect to the crankshaft pic, a bigger "wow" to me would be mill/lathe used to build it.
Yea, well, back in my day we just looked at the drawings that Ogg had etched in his clay tablet and we'd go to work with our wood-handled stone hammers and chisels. Coffee break meant it was time to run over to StoneBucks for a latte with bronto-milk mocha.

I'm addicted to watching dirt-floor factories in India, cranking out some respectable machinery from cut-up cruise ships.
2,500 years ago the Lydians were using open hearth furnaces to create gold coins with about the same purity as a U.S. Gold Eagle today. Just because you don't have all the technology and techniques we have today doesn't mean you're stupid.
