Hi Mr.Pete, that big floor model arbor press at 9:45 is just like the one we had in the tool and die shop I used to run. It had a patent date of 1916. I remember because, it was the year that my Mother was born. It was totally mechanical. The long lever on the left acted on an arm that engaged notches on the big wheel to operate the pressing action. We used it mainly, to press out mangled die posts that never saw grease unless we were servicing the die in our shop. You would crank and crank on that long lever, building up pressure and all of a sudden, the die post would break free. It sounded like a gunshot! After it broke free, you could push the post the rest of the way out fairly quietly. Ours had another lever near the top in that cylindrical portion of the press that would move the ram down rapidly for much lighter jobs.

Worked as a sparky for 50 years and was fortunate enough 40 years ago to get a 6" Starrett combination square still in the original box and a Brown & Sharp 0 to 1" micrometer. Never got to purchase a decent digital 0 to 6 or 8" calibers. Have cheaper combination squares. Thanks Mr Pete for the informative u tube vidios that you produce.
