Thats impressive.Kind of an art form. We cant do that often in the granite state. Brings back memories of servicing the Terex units in Lincoln when they built the 93 Notch Bypass. No way a 12 year old could ever get to run a scraper today. Osha would have a stroke. Thank you Tom Palazzi. A true road builder. May you rest in peace.

In the 70s my grandfather leveled the Tulare lake bottom for J. G. Boswell, he had over a 100 pieces of equipment on the job. No enclosed cabs. His cellphone was a radio phone in his car. Diesel was 34 cents a gallon brought in by 1/2 tanker loads. The equipment here is an amazing modernization of caterpillar. The yards of dirt moved per machine is probably double on 1/2 the diesel.

California has that good soft earth with volume grading that is conducive to big scraper spreads like this one.

Amazing to see these big machine in a massive operation like this looking like a bunch of ants working away. Here's an idea for you if you read this. Go back after the job is done and fly over so we can see the finished product?? Be cool to show a clip of the original video of the time you recorded during the cut. but then go back and show what it looked like finished. Just a thought, plus more video content for you.

@BigWheelHawaii .. - You call that old, I can remember my uncle filming me on a 'wind-up' Bell & Howell "standard" 8mm camera, - no auto-focus or "f" setting, you had to do all that with a 'light-meter' and your judgement on the distance. He also had a 9.5mm Pathe camera but couldn't use it (when I was a child), as he couldn't get hold of the '25 foot tin cassettes' that it used, - and that was all you got, - no turning the film round to make a 25' reel into a 50' when developed, or like the 'super 8' a straightforward plastic cassette of film you just dropped in. If I remember correctly the price included developing by the films makers - usually Kodak - but there were others in the UK where I am. I still have all the films he took (mainly family) and all the cameras and projectors for them. Alas the 9.5 stuff is starting to fade - some is nearly 90 yrs old and the cost of restoring it is beyond my pocket.

@@CrusaderSports250 Ah those were the days. If you wanted to film a moving vehicle, you had to see it coming from at least a mile away, (and hope it wasn't going too fast), get the camera out of its bulky bag, find your light meter, (I had a 'Weston'), see what the light reading was, (set camera etc. - no auto-focus in those days), then find you had only 2ft of film left on that side of the reel, raise camera to shoot, by then all you got was a rear view of it disappearing into the distance. Filming vehicles (commercials) was a hobby of mine, and I found the best thing was to set the camera at about f8 (on a tripod) and hope for the best, some came out beautifully - others you could barely see, so they got cut out in the 'splicing' as I made all my films into 200ft reels. It was expensive even in those days, - so I did it once a month, - how I wish now I hadn't cut out the 'bad bits' now. Unfortunately a removal firm managed to 'lose' my best boxful for me - oh yes they compensated me for it, but how do you replace the irreplaceable. So I just have about 3000 ft of slightly out of focus, too dark, going too fast, and the like, but I'm hanging on to that - at least it's something - and memories of when I was young.

@@christopherlovelock9104 still got my Weston master v and all the still and cine stuff, it will come back!!, the sad thing for today is despite the ease of recording the visual image in twenty, fifty, years it will either be gone or unobtainable due to no one having the right format reader, the history that will be lost, I read a while ago how the Imperial War Museum came across some plates from the Crimean war, the images still clear and the history still available.

@@CrusaderSports250 Me too. I'm pretty sure my Weston is a 'V', - it's silver with a grey leather case and a hole in it for the 'neck' chord to come out. I've also got my late uncles Weston although his was a 2 (black plastic casing). Even some of my colour slides I used to take are starting to turn funny colours - I used 'Agfa' or 'Fuji' film I didn't like 'Kodak' because they used card-board surrounds on the slides. I still have 3 boxes of glass plate negatives that my grandfather took around 1912, what they are of I don't know as each box-full over the years has become stuck to each other and I haven't the photographs of what is on them. I have been told if you put the entire lump of glass, - (as that's what they amount to now), - in a bowl of milk !!! they will separate after a while, but I don't know so I have never tried to do it. I think the main part of the image is Silver Nitrate and that is something you don't want about. As you say formatting is now the biggest problem I have a 'Video Grabber', and something that when plugged in will throw my colour negatives, - (not my colour slides though), - onto my computer screen. That is interesting about the Imperial War Museum's find. Some History is being lost so fast nowadays it will end up that the only way one will know about something will be in a book - and that will not have any pictures as they couldn't be saved. I'm sorry if I have 'rambled' on for so long.
