Hi,
I worked on this as a production worker in 1992, Wednesbury tube had 4 of them and still worked up until 1997. We could extrude 720 billets per shift!
everything was put on by hand. hot work but it kept you FIT.
Ed: Many thanks Jeremy for your valued comment. It is useful to note that these Serck presses had a working life of over 45 years. Not bad going!! John B
