[SEL] Bessemer Building

[Jim O'Hagan]

Hi Fred,
    First of all, build the biggest building you can afford and they will
allow. You will fill it up fast enough. The steel buildings on concrete pads
work well here in Ca. Our climate here is pretty stable in regard to
expansion and contraction.
    Check with the steel building dealers, they probably can supply all the
needed documents to satisfy the powers to be. Some times these same dealers
have a building , that they will sell at a discount because the person that
ordered it changed their mind and lost a substantial deposit. C Ya Jimmy

Subject: [SEL] Bessemer Building

Great news!  Just got back from NIHPA club meeting and it was decided to
pursue construction of a building to permanently house the club's Bessemer
engine (50hp).  What is needed now is an idea for the design of the building
which can be built economically.  Would like to make the building large
enough to accomodate two or three engines, possibly with one engine powering
a mill and another a line shaft.

Is there a registered Architect/Engineer on the list with license to stamp
drawings in Indiana that would like to assist with this project?  Does
anyone have plans or ideas on such a building?  Before the project is 100%
go, we will need to present plans before the County Park Foundation for
their blessing.
