Compound engines power many of the famous ocean liners.  Titanic had two triple-expansion (three chambers along with a turbine.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

I reckon that's why there are four buttons for two operators on those presses, so you have to have your hands clear.

In my youth I worked in a machine shop where we did finish work for Hawker Siddley Aircraft.All press and stamp machinary required to have both feet on pedals and both hands on buttons. Without that the machine would stop instantly. There was never any accidents and happy and safe workers.Eye protection and steel toe capped boots was required as soon as you entered the building and hearing protection was required in certain areas. You were given 2 chances. 3rd time you collected the contents of your locker and went bye bye. [thumbsup]
