Ruston-Bucyrus 110-RB face shovel loading a Euclid dumper, Steetley quarry, Nottinghamshire, 1967.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the history of mining and construction. Taken in 1967 at Steetley quarry, Nottinghamshire, it showcases a Ruston-Bucyrus 110-RB face shovel diligently loading a Euclid dumper truck. The impressive machinery on display represents the advancements made during this era. Euclid trucks were pioneers in their field, originating from the United States as the first manufacturer to produce dumper trucks with an original design rather than converting existing vehicles. In 1968, General Motors (GM) acquired Euclid before several acquisitions eventually led to Volvo taking ownership. Today, Hitachi manufactures under the renowned Hitachi name after acquiring full control of the company. The image beautifully depicts the industrial landscape of mid-20th century Britain. The vibrant colors bring life to this scene of heavy-duty machinery against a backdrop of stone and tracks. It serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and technological progress. Photographed by Michael Walters from Paul Walters Worldwide Photography Ltd. , this snapshot provides us with a glimpse into an essential aspect of British industry during that time period. Without mentioning commercial use or specific companies involved, we can appreciate how transportation and quarrying played crucial roles in shaping our modern world. Overall, this photograph is not just an artistic representation but also serves as a historical document showcasing innovation within the realm of excavation and transport technology during one pivotal year - 1967
