Bill Kemball's 'Power of the Past' event has quickly
established itself as one of the most remarkable field demonstrations
of vintage
agricultural and allied machinery in Britain. The emphasis is firmly
on working machines, not on static displays.
The range shown in this
recording of the 1998 event is broad, encompassing Gyrotillers, farm
tractors and crawlers - all undertaking autumn
cultivation - earth-moving equipment, military vehicles, steam engines,
stationary engines and heavy horses.
A large steam-driven reciprocating
saw and a portable steam engine are among the many high-quality demonstrations.
Scripted by Britain's most experienced farm machinery writer, Brian Bell,
and directed by Jonathan Theobald at Country Films.
