It's probably been posted here before, but there is a relatively internet famous railroad overpass in North Carolina simply called "11ft 8", made famous first in blog form and then via it's youtube archive of every crash. It lacks the catchy slapstick music though. ;-)
in 2020 they finally raised it, the railroad was being pretty stubborn about it, but only 8inches, so it's now the "11ft 8 + 8" bridge, and still catches drivers unaware, but less dramatically so.
OOooo. That 35mm sprocket toothed Dynamometer is FANCY. Want. LOL I'm only 20min in and quite enjoying it. Some of the equipment shots (and rotating pans) appear like they were filmed in stop motion too!! Pulled out all the stops.
Great illustration of how buzz track is utilized!
Finished. Geez those units were pretty "Cadillac"... water cooled gates and lamps, water filtering, auto-cut off sensors for film breaks and water flow, arc sighting glass (like the old carbon days), everything in the lamphouse was adjustable!. That 90deg dummy lens with the alignment sighting device was pretty trick too!
The ruskies generally weren't know for precision, so a lot of the engineering reflects that. I thought the eccentric adjustments on the star bearing and cam engagement pin was cute. Although most of the maintenance info was specific to these soviet built machines, there is good general information about machine upkeep. The machines do feel very european, almost kinoton like. Those soviet microswitches must have failed often
