>> A few weeks ago there was some discussion regarding line shafts, belting,

>> I've put together a page of pictures of a small line shaft operated shop 
>> that was built in about 1910 and still uses part of the original line 
>> shaft system.  It is located at the Mount Wilson Observatory in 
>> California and is in the same building that houses the 1911 50 HP 
>> Fairbanks Morse type RE engine and generator that supplied the direct 
>> current power for the motor that runs the line shaft.  The DC now comes 
>> from modern rectifiers fed from the power grid but the old F-M is still
