Indeed, it is a beast. Just noticed something though. They rather overdid the photo touch-up. Take a close look at the counter weight cables, they just magically disappear into the shadow behind the base of the machine.
This book is filled with beasts.
It was published right after the 1st World War so there is a lot of armor plate working machines, and a lot of rail road machines.
There is a man standing on or near most of these pictures.
Some of them you have to look hard to find him.

There is a page of text with most of the machines, with specs and information.
Let me know if you want to see any of those pictures.
My friend who owns the book said at one time Niles Bement Pond was the largest machine tool maker in the world. I had to scratch my head thinking, "I never see them, how can that be?".
Then after seeing the book I realized they didn't make many machines that I was likely to see on craigslist or own in my barn.

One of the all time great movers and shakers in charge at NBP after 1901 - though he made time for other duties like the 1913 Dayton, Ohio area flood and WW1 service in the Signal Corps - procuring aircraft if I remember right.

Your wish is my command,...…....next problem
You mean you dont have access to a manhole punching machine? What kind of half a$$#* shop are you running?
Seriously, these are some great pictures, thank you for posting. World war one must truly have been hell on earth with this kind of mechanization brought to bear against the common soldier in the field.Lindsay publications had a couple of good books with pictures of some larger NBP machines. I remember seeing some of them a few years ago.
