[SEL] [AT] Drag line engine ID wanted

[Rupert]

	I hope to get to the drag line this week end. Do you or anyone else 
know where I'm likely to find a name plate for the crane?
	All that is left of the engine plate on the bell housing is the four 
corners as can be seen in the picture so that one isn't much help.
	Thanks so much.
Rupert

At one time, I had a complete set of aperture cards that contained every drawing for their 20-ton drag line.  Unfortunately, I got tired of "carrying it around" so I could use it as a demo for my students of what such body of documents looked like -- around 3500 computer cards.  I finally pitched it in the trash.
