An American example of Cinéma Pur, Mechanical Principles (1930), by the photographer Ralph Steiner, is a "study of machines in motion, cut to the rhythm of the machines themselves." Steiner made many industrial films, but for this piece he cut out the final product and instead concentrated on the images of the machines themselves; removed from context, they take on their own beauty.
