>A few weeks ago there was some discussion regarding line shafts, belting, 
>loose and tight pulleys, etc.
>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 capable of 
>producing power.
