Yummy, FEED ME MORE ENGINES!

Awesome. I've seen machines like this that did computer hard drives, but not large enough to eat that stuff!

Fun to watch, so long as it's eating Crapsuns, Turdotas, and Watsdats.

There is a permanent one near our steel mill. Two very large double rotary assemblies. A complete car is gobbled up and spit out in about ten seconds.

Thanks for sharing! Scary to think how much good flathead stuff has been gobbled up by that nasty car killer , like the good 59A block that scrappers 'took' from side yard !
