Rassegna - 69: Great Machines

This is a small cultural history concerning itself with the "Great Machines" of this century, imposing steal constructions which because of their complexity, function and sheer size are capable of extraordinary feats. Shown are ship-hoisting mechanisms, cranes, radio telescopes, brown coal excavators, missile launching pads, offshore oil rigs and other great machines generally concealed from common view.
A photographic documentation completes the book.
