The first six takes went badly—Elliott thudded to the floor with several feet yet to go—but on the seventh take, she floated smoothly all the way.

The Two Towers, book 3, ch. 4 "Treebeard" "...hammers thudded. At night plumes of vapour steamed from the vents, lit from beneath with red light". Steam hammer at work, England Saruman's Isengard is industrial in several ways: it produces weapons and machinery made of iron, smelted and forged using trees as fuel; an unusually large and powerful breed of Orcs, able as Treebeard says to fight in daylight, produced rapidly, apparently by some kind of cloning; and a gunpowder-like explosive.The Two Towers, book 3, ch. 8 "The Road to Isengard" The underground factories, and the contrast with how the area was before Saruman's day, are described by the narrator in "The Road to Isengard": Saruman thus stands for the exact opposite of the sympathetic stewardship of Middle-earth shown by the Hobbits of the Shire, and Treebeard of Fangorn forest.
