[SEL] Odd, Strange, and Curious

[Rick Rowlands]

Yep if its not producing that HP and doing work then its just a big toy.

As we pick up and move parts for the Tod we are weighing the parts with the 
load cells on the cranes. It went from an estimated 250 ton engine to 260 
and now getting closer to 270.  With two more pieces yet to move and weigh 
who knows what the final actual weight might be.  The LP cylinder turned out 
to be 21,000 lb. heavier than I estimated.

Rick

PS what are you going to do with all those wood discs that are piling up 
around the SEL area?
