Billy Bristol Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 I remember working on some machines set up like that. There was a lathe, a surface grinder, and a couple other machines all run off 1 motor with all those belts.
Boon Doggle Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 My dad and grandfather had a machine shop that produced artificial limbs, "Hooks", during WWII. They had three or four freestanding lathes and mills. All the other machinery was driven by one motor through a series of belts. Pretty scary place for a three or four year old kid. I can remember oily metal shavings two to three inches deep all over the floor and a huge pile of the same, along with other scrap in back of the shop. EPA would have a wonderful time in that place today. Every now and then I'll someone with one of their "Hooks"even today.
Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 There was an old feller in Buchtel -- that's the Buchtel in Athens County, near Nelsonville, not the one here in the Yankee flat lands -- the old gent rang his entire machine shop with a steam tractor. When a big area wide power outage hit, he never even noticed.
