![Usage [edit] In the UK, a number of companies owned fleets of steam rollers and contracted them out to local authorities. Many were still in use into the 1960s, and part of the M1 motorway was made using steam rollers. [6] A few steam rollers were being used for road maintenance in the early 1970s, and this may go some way to explaining why diesel-powered rollers are still colloquially known as steam rollers today. NOV 2029 Preservation [edit] Many steam rollers are preserved in working order, and can be seen in operation during special live steam festivals, where operating scale models may also be displayed. At some of the UK steam fairs and rallies, demonstrations of road building using the old techniques, tools and machines are re- enacted by 'Road Gangs' in authentic dress. Steam rollers feature prominently in these demonstrations. The annual Great Dorset Steam Fair has a section dedicated to road-making machinery, including a line-up of working steam rollers. A former Bedfordshire County Council Aveling & Porter roller in 2004 Popular culture [edit] British steeplejack and engineering enthusiast Fred Dibnah was known as a national institution in Great Britain for the conservation of steam rollers and traction engines. The first engine he restored to working order was an Aveling & Porter steam roller, registration no. DM3079. Built in 1912, it was a 10-ton slide-valve, single-cylinder, 4-shaft, road roller. [7] Originally named "Allison", after his first wife, Fred renamed the engine "Betsy" (his mother's name) following his divorce - Fred's view being "wives may change but your mother remains your mother!" This roller was featured in many of Fred's early television programmes. It may still be seen at steam rallies in Britain and was in steam at the Great Dorset Steam Fair in 2011. In the Japanese manga and anime series JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Dio the vampire infamously attempted to crush Jotaro by dropping a steamroller on top of him. As a symbol [edit] The steamroller has a strong symbolism of an irresistible, onward-pushing force. The Imperial Russian Army was nicknamed "steamroller" during the World War One, as it was humongous by its size, and Russia initiated the war with an offensive. The "Russian Steamroller" is one of the personifications of Russia, along with the Russian bear, double-headed eagle and Mat Zemlya.](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/list/002/439/376/a2b.jpg "It's a road rolla! | /r/ShitPostCrusaders/")
