Excerpt:
“Incredible machines may someday burn their way under cities and rivers, through mountain ranges—fusing earth and rock into everlasting tunnels for irrigation, railroads, or auto expressways. Such machines will be marvels of complexity. Yet, like today’s equipment, their performance will depend on oil seals and O-Rings.”

This is a 70 yr. old original vintage ad removed from a 1953 publication and is not a reproduction of any kind.
