Interesting film from 90 years ago. Most of you will want to skip to the 12:05 mark and watch to the end.

Great post! Took me a minute to figure out the sound. :lol: At the 3 minute mark is a clip that belongs in the Arcophobia thread. :shock:

THANKS! That whole film was totally engrossing! Where did it come from? How on earth did you find it in digital form, or did you digitize it yourself?

I'd watch that whole thing again but have to work (coincidentally, on some research into an abandoned mill site).

I kept wanting to tell the guys in the film to put on their hard hats and safety glasses :-)

Oh, no, I didn't have anything to do with it. Someone else uploaded it to YouTube and I just stumbled upon it (don't ask me how because it is embarrassing how much time and energy I put into finding stuff I'm looking for). :oops:
