a long way from home then

At least they build walk ways. Back in the day I used to walk the walls, sucked and very unsafe.

Ok lets talk "safety" ... Starting with that lovely brick work and then moving on to that wonderful "naturally green" scaffolding. Nice use of recycled materials , But I think even Al Gore would be pissed at the excessive use of young trees that were killed to hold that plywood up !!  :) 

Oh and dont forget about that ingenuous use of 2x10 and 2x2 to make a wonderful ladder that will hold 5 men and buckets of wet cement.. Geez this hole site is getting "red tagged" LOL LOL

This picture is hilarious, but I bet it was not taken that long ago either ?

if you go to page 10 look under heading concrete pump 1955 in milwaukee news dont know if its the first one but must be close

 m47 you can start in the international patent registry. The earliest I could find was mid to late 1930's. The huns filed a few auger drive "Beton Pumpen" patents. Then in the early 40's an American applied for a pump patent in Panama but died before it was granted. A German filed for a patent 'improvement' on the same design shortly after.

 Italy has a long history with pumps but many/most of them were spray type gunite machines and they seemed to stick with them for a long time before they evoled into pumps for actual concrete with agg.

Hey Many.

Don't a visual on that please.

that's funny,just came back to life.Those snow storms do it every time.

funny but you used to see sights like that all the time.

These were manufactured in the late 50's, early 60's
