What is recorded here
Hand crane at the Castle Blacksmith's in Paisley, Renfrewshire. The period is unassigned, but the function is not. A crane lifts what is too heavy for human hands, and a blacksmith's shop needs exactly that much help. The metal room may have rung like a chamber where weight itself was bent into use.
