Them Grimshaw Ferret Fur Fettler machines made a racket.
A real Furring and Fettling machine takes flat metal sheet at one end and produces a profiled section at the other by repeated rolling (furring), and then de-burrs it (part of fettling). A video of a furring rig that turns flat strip into top hat sections (Not made by Messrs Grimshaw, Ferret & Co. but the set up looks suitably pre HSE visit) it does rather look like this one is missing the hopper at the back to collect the chopped off operator's fingers, but at least with all the guards off you can see more clearly the operation of the successive rolling processes. In the EU such a thing would be considerably better guarded, but then you would not see how it works.
The sort of metal channels and things that end up in suspended ceilings can be made this way.
edit I'm sort of waiting for all the off topic drift to be stripped out of this thread and moved to somewhere else.
