During a 1976 visit to the Kennedy Space Center, we walked over to get a closer view of one of the Apollo Moon Rocket crawler transporters that carried the rocket from the vertical assembly building to the launch pad. As we got closer I was astounded to again see the Marion Power Shovel logo on the crawler tracks. It turned out this huge machine had been built by the same company that built the Colstrip mine power shovels some four decades before and the tracks looked almost identical to the dragline tracks. A dramatic demonstration of the sophistication of mechanical engineering even in the 1930s. NASA photo
