@Marie-Hélène Ammor: Many thanks... there was two machines... it was a very hot day the heat given off from the machine made it very very hot - I even managed to see inside and take a photo ... though it is not likely to win any awards :-)

Big machine, little man, who's in charge? Makes you wonder who's bigger in the scheme of things in this world.

@james: Many thanks for your comment - the Afghans were in charge - there were a pair of these rotary cement kilns and despite all the troubles they have been able to keep them working - a great achievement!
