Thanks, Merle!
10,154 Cubic Inches in three cylinders! I want to see the numbers. I have been looking at books and at SmokStak archives to see the actual size of this engine, with no luck. 10 grand is a lot of cubic inches. Run the math on cylinder volumes and I think this is an exaggeration.
Cool!!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with the guy filming the engine, that was awesome.
ReplyDeleteAt 2:35 you can see there is a Sharpless Super Centrifuge sitting on the engine catwalk.

The link says the Sharpless was used for cream separation in a dairy, but when the Philly Shipyard reactivated three cargo ships for Desert Storm the main engine lube oil purifiers were Sharpless units.

I have a high tolerance for industrial clutter, but even for me those sheds need just a bit of tidying up.
