Scaffolding aside, this is probably the finest example of a Quadratura Fresco that I've ever come across. Also the floor seemed to double up as a massive litter tray.

I take you mean making the bolts IE cutting the thread. I thought it was a process of rolling the thread though I have never seen it done but have used thousands of the things through my working life mostly stainless ones.

From memory, what were in use were lathe-like machines that were watched over as they did their work. The pungent smell of the milky lubricant that was directed over the cutting tools has never left me.

Don't remind me of suds I used to come home stinking of the stuff and when you had to change the stuff it really smelt rotten, I'm glad I did not work that long in the machine shop but some of the old machinist the stuff used out of their pores

For some reason, I liked the smell of it. Likewise the ammonia pong from genuine blueprint machines; and the smell of sillage in a farmyard. Each to his own . . .
