When cars were lighter. Citroën did this from the factory on the DS.

Locked bumpers. I've heard of those, but was it really that common?

Yes, even up into the 50s, although bumper guards helped some.

This shovel in Golden New Mexico isn't like any I've seen before. It looks built in place, hanging off the side of that structure, and not mobile. It appears it's shoveling dirt into a hole on the far side, where a series of scoops on a conveyer carry it up to the second level, dumping the dirt into the revolving screen drum. The drum would dump larger pieces like rocks out the chute on the near end, and the fine stuff is going somewhere else, perhaps a smelter.
They must be bringing the dirt to the shovel with wagons, trucks, or railcars.

Conowingo Dam Turbine Hall in 1930, with 7 turbines generating 36 megawatts each, second only to Niagara falls.

Yeah, we've had these on before, but, I haven't seen a self-propelled one before:

It said a 6-wheel drive, 6-cylinder was the biggest they built, not the only. The photographs and illustrations are a two axle and 4 cylinder engine so I guess they're not the biggest model, are they.

Faegol(above) also made walking tractors. One being demonstrated and the crating dock at the factory.

Yes but you couldn't move it over a paved road, and would tear up an unpaved road. This is why the push to rubber tires in the '30s. A guy I grew up with travels all over buying up those spiked wheels and selling them to the Amish.
