I was at one of my customers today and I had to have them turn a forging on a lathe while I waited. So I was talking to the machinist and he mentioned that he had worked at a shop that built forging presses, hammers, and steam hammers. Since he had an English accent I asked if it was Massey, turns out it was. He worked for them back in the 70s. I told him what hammer I had and he told me he had turned lots of parts for those hammers, as well as parts for lots of hammers up to 40cwt.
John N he said to say hi next time I was talking to you. Bill mentioned Masseys was probably the best place he had worked .

Sometimes the world does seem small! A lot of pride with the guys that made the hammers over the years (and it shows in the machines)
Tell him there is still an annual Massey reunion in manchester! drop me a message for details.
