Mine machinery
Description
Detailed shot of industrial scene. These machines repeatedly dropped heavy piston-like rods onto the silver-bearing ore they were fed, crushing it into powder (each stamp weighed about half a ton and could fall almost 100 times per minute and together reduce 20 tons of ore per day). ), it was then treated through a chlorine leaching process to extract a high percentage of metal. Henry Brooks convinced investors to finance one for El Triunfo.
