[SEL] Lineshaft equipment

[Jeff Allen]

Hi Rick,

Here are the lineshaft pictures I took this weekend. They are from the 
blacksmith shop in Bird City. I shrunked em down a bit. Anyone wants 
full size contact me and I'll build another page. Huge files. The 
machine next to the lathe appears to be a mill. The project in the vice 
looked like a bolt they were cutting the head on. Not running while I 
was there.
