There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.

Looks like a scene from "The Victors," Kubrick's masterpiece... never shown anymore, don't know why. Great war movie, although very anti-war for those looking for that. Very poignant that the two victors, a Russian
and a GI dating German sisters, fight it out in the ruins. Powerful.
Real men measure once and cut.

I worked around their modern electrical shovels as an oilsands surveyor, neat machines, very quiet, but fragile compared to the P&H units. I had heard rumblings in the industry that Caterpillar had purchased Bucyrus to gain a mine shovel product line, better than any of the Tyrex hydraulic offerings they caught fire once a week it seemed.
