Great videos. Steam and machine shop. Belt driven machine tools stayed around far longer than expected. My father learned machine shop at a tech school in Philly post Second World War, and could have been very late forties or very early fifties. He said that some of the tools were still being driven by leather belts. I suggest a visit to Keith Rucker's site "Vintage Machinery", https://www.youtube.com/user/ksruckerowwm
