Tensioning the crosscut on a two metre saw blade, Sheffield, South Yorkshire, 1963. A worker at Slack Sellars & Co Ltd. The process of tensioning involves hammering the saw face to alter the shape of the metal slightly. This will enable the saw blade to run true when the metal gets hot and expands.
