stuny Posted April 1, 2007 Share #3 Posted April 1, 2007 Pete - Your second post in this thread is much better -- superb, even. Excellent angle, balance and tonal range. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
azzo Posted April 1, 2007 Share #4 Posted April 1, 2007 I agree perfectly with Stuart. Much nicer in the 2nnd attempt. Fantastic b&w tones, and the full reflection makes it so much nicer. Very well framed and captured Pete. Azzo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The precision of the engineering for these gears was remarkable. Timber wedges and shims are used to get the massive gear to run concentric with its shaft and bearings. Some of the gears in the train have sacrificial hardwood teeth which are replaced when worn. Can't imagine how much racket all this makes when it is running. On wild nights a man used to sleep in a little cabin upstairs and apply the brake to stop the mill running away if it all got too much.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
