EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken in Sheffield, South Yorkshire in 1963, we witness a skilled machinist from the renowned Edgar Allen Steel Company meticulously inspecting a massive six-foot circular saw blade. The importance of quality checking cannot be overstated as it ensures that the blade runs true at high speeds. To achieve optimal performance, the circular saw blade should possess a slight convex curvature when stationary. However, once set into motion, it will naturally flatten out. This critical tensioning process is precisely what our dedicated machinist is examining in this snapshot. The image showcases the meticulous attention to detail required by workers in the iron and steel industry during this era. It serves as a testament to their dedication and expertise in producing top-quality tools for various applications. Captured by Michael Walters of Paul Walters Worldwide Photography Ltd. , this monochrome photograph beautifully encapsulates an essential aspect of British industrial history. It highlights not only the craftsmanship involved but also offers us a glimpse into the daily lives of factory workers who played an integral role in shaping our country's manufacturing sector. This remarkable image stands as a tribute to all those hardworking individuals who contributed to Sheffield's reputation as one of Britain's leading centers for steel production.
