Aberdeen rail turntable lift- should you be under that ?
"An Aberdeen railway turntable which is more than 100 years old has been lowered back into place after being restored."

Interesting question.
I suspect that it was necessary to watch the final alignment and possibly manually nudge it a mm or so at the end.
Looking at the lattice construction of the turntable, if it had dropped, the result would be like an old Buster Keaton movie; they stand still and it drops around them

Just because they drink juice made from girders, doesn't make them as strong as the girders they think they can carry on their shoulders!
A bit shocked!
Berni - Your link made me smile for the rest of the day.
Wonder what Buster would think of health and safety.
