Skicklighet och styrka
Skicklighet hos både smed och hammarskötare krävdes för att lyckas forma järnet på det sätt som önskades. Erfarenhet, kommunikation och noggrannhet.
Dock var det också viktigt att vara stark, det var enorma uppvärmda järnämnen som bearbetades vid hamrarna till sin rätta form. Medan hammarsötaren skötte hammaren, höll smeden ämnet med en stor tång som förflyttade sig med hjälp av kranar. Värma slå, värma, slå tills du har en del till loket 202. Sista loket som rullade ut från NOHAB hade troligen nr 3047.
Skills and strength
Skill from both the blacksmith and the hammer operator was required to successfully shape the iron as desired. Experience, communication, and precision were essential.
However, it was also crucial to be strong, as massive heated iron pieces were manipulated at the hammers into their proper forms. While the hammer operator managed the hammer, the blacksmith held the material with a large pair of tongs that moved with the help of cranes. Heat, strike, heat again, strike until you have a part for locomotive 202. The last locomotive that probably rolled out of NOHAB likely had the number 3047.
