Hi Chris, looks good so far. Are you counting cranks, or just working to the lines?
Looking great Dog, but I have to ask if you have a brass stockpile in your house that stuff is at a premium right now. Always outstanding work Chris….. Don
Is just the flat part of the end angled? Or is the curved part angled at 2o also? Hard to tell in the picture...Kim
Chris- I thought about the demo thing too, but in their info and history of the engines, it was never mentioned that these were anything more than working engines.When they were put out of service, that was it. Now, this particular engine, as you and they pointed out was troublesome and I think was off line when the Allis and Worthington were working. So maybe it was a demo drive. I should have looked closer, but I don't think that gear was engaged to the flywheel.BTW, down below, there is another single vertical engine that they used for generating electricity. Between the Worthington and Allis is the remains of a switch panel.They thought it was probably DC generated. (in that time period, probably).Sid
Chris- that is one of the flywheels. I did not get a better picture. I can't tell from my own photo if it was engaged or not, but I didn't think it was.The generator engine was below on the pump level. So, you would not see it if you did not do the tour to the "basement".Sid
