Vintage ship engine building

[cruiseroutfit]

Extremely cool. Wonder what era? I would guess the 30's-40's?

That looks like it's moving FAST (or maybe it's the film/camera)....but then again, maybe it's not moving?

Any idea when these pictures were taken?

I would guess 50's to early 60's. OSHA started in 1970-71 so it's pre that (obviously). I don't think they would have been building an engine this large nor have the equipment they do pre 1950s???

I guess if all else fails, go to the source of the pictures

So, this is from 1957-1958

Good guess!

Probably moving very slowly. The work is probably way off balance at higher speeds.
