[SEL] Bethlehem Steel Gas Engines

[Ron Frost, Kersey, PA]

Back in the late 80's and early 90's I lived in Bethlehem and at that time they were still running. I had an occasion to be in that power house one day and they were running 2 or 3 of those units. What an awsume sight and sound.

Thank you for posting some very impressive pictures, Rick. They were a real
eye-opener. Most texts that describe steel manufacturing processes, but
don't explain the source of air. I guess I always assumed blowers were
used, but of course blowers couldn't produce sufficient pressure. It never
dawned on me that reciprocating pumps were used. Fascinating. 

Regards,

Orrin
