BA.....

 

[actaeon277]

wow. Is it a major undertaking to get it back on the rails?

How in the hell do they manage that.

Not that hard actually.
It's in the shop that feeds us, so I haven't seen it, except thru the BOP west pitside canera.
But usually, a motor or gearbox fails. These cranes are huge. They span across the building. They are two stories tall. They lift 650,000 lbs.
There are 4 bridge motors/gears. NE, NW, SE, SW
Bridge goes across the building N-S.
Trolley goes E-W across the aisle..
If a bridge motor goes, and the other 3 drive, it can cock and twist the structure.
Twist enough, and a wheel pops off.


To make it worse.
They have 600,000 lbs of steel in the hooks.
Ground is not level, so they can't set it down.

Couple years ago, maybe 5, they were changing some wheels. Improperly cribbed.
Weight shifted.
Into a worker. Or what used to be a worker.

 

[Birds Away]

Is that so you can find the pieces of your gun when it blows up?

That is fair. Middle of the pack. If you put that on an intruder in a dark house it will hurt his eyes.

This is one from another mill. It is smaller and cleaner than ours.

Right before you really hurt his feelings.


I like the 22 better than any other Glock I have shot, so far. They are accurate, comfortable to shoot and well-balanced.

It was a freebie from some program at work. Had points to burn up and I got that and cheapy predator call. Free is good.
