Building a P&H 9020 mining shovel

[Alan]

This is presented in a format that is (I think) aimed at kids but it still makes a pretty interesting article.

It details the buidling, on site, of a walking dragline used in the strip mining industry.

And this is a bit of an interesting site if you're into the REAL heavy equipment. http://www.stripmine.org/
