Back To The Old Grind!
John In Philly: It's at Rollag, and it is beautiful. Treasure hunters from Rollag stumbled upon this engine one week before it was to be scrapped, and saved it from destruction. The old engineeer who ran it in the factory helped them dismantle it. He had marked everything with a chisel so it went back together perfectly in time. They got the drawings with it, so creating the foundation was a project, not an engineering nightmare.
That is really impressive and more so because the engine is probably a big reciprocating engine.
ReplyDeleteI recall an engineroom incident when the CHENG complained about the vibration of a piece of machinery, and before he returned I used some monkey poo to stick the nickle onto the machinery.
Eventually he caught on.
