RFPBT5FK–This illustration dates to the 1870s and shows Nasmyth's Steam Hammer. James Nasmyth was a Scottish engineer who gained fame for his development of the steam hammer. He was co-founder of Nasmyth, Gaskell and Company manufacturers of machine tools. With the steam hammer, the steam is admitted below the piston, which is thus raised to any required height within the limits of the stroke. When the communication with the boiler is shut off and the steam below the piston is allowed to escape, the piston, with the mass of ironforming the hammer attached to the piston-rod, falls by its own weight. Thi

RFPD10DY–This illustration dates to the 1870s and shows the Great Steam Hammer Royal Gun Factory Woolwich. The hammer was, at the time, thought to be one of the most powerful steam hammers ever constructed. Its purpose was to forge great guns for the British Navy. The hammer was made by Nasymth & Co. Its height is about 50 feet and it is surrounded with furnaces and powerful cranes, carrying the huge iron tomgs that are to grap the glowing masses. Th hammer descend not merely with its own weight of 30 tons; steam is injected behind the falling piston, which is thus driven down with vastly enhanced rapi
