Real life Donkey Kong pictures

[LMDAVE]

I remember having a conversation with Mitch the other day about the Donkey Kong boards, and there was a lot of confusion on the pie factory related to real life construction. I think DK is based around more old school skyscrapers. So, I thought it would be cool for each person if they can find a real life picture that related to one of the 4 Donkey Kong Boards. However, I'd love to find an old picture of using trays to hold cement transferred on a conveyor belt. I really think that situation existed.

I think this is a perfect one to start with with has pretty good representation of the barrel board with girders and ladders.

LMAO, that's too awesome Jeff. But, you know that's not the pies I'm looking for!

Jacks!

It's always kind of bugged me that people call them "springs" (not to mention the cement pans "pies"), but I shrugged and accepted it long ago knowing that I would never singlehandedly change the world on that. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em...

(The MAME cheat menu calls them jacks! So that's a small victory...)

this one is just goofy.

(I actually had some of this stuff in my image collection file for the blog, but never found a way of using it...)

Good stuff Chris, and love the jack definition, so obvious now that is what it is. Springs bounce so that was what it just became. Now when I get hit by a spring (jack) I can say I got Jacked-Up!

This is the closest thing I've found for the pie factory.

Terrible tradegy in Napa Valley this weekend with the earthquake - hope they recover well, but couldn't pass up this picture as a possible real life Donkey Kong episode:
