Quote from: cv_acr on February 04, 2009, 04:56:27 PMWow, that video is cool. Those things are pretty mechanically and labour intensive, easy to see why they elminated those once self-unloaders were standard. Really cool operation though.Compared to what they used to have to do before Huletts came along (shovels, wheelbarrows and lots of men), those big, ungainly machines were a godsend. To think they started operations near the turn of the century, and ran for generations, all very impressive and a testament to a genius designer.

There supposedly are two standing in South Chicago. Does anyone know where?

Can anyone recommend a book on steel operations that shows how all these buildings and structures fit together?
