    Hi, Patriot,

    Whats the detail with the 4 big motors that you posted the photos of? Looks like an induced draft fan or something...? Interesting to see the old style mechanical "soft start" coupling on the motor shaft. What is the second device on the shaft--the cast iron box with the 2" pipe coming out of it....some sort of water cooling device to keep the heat from the fan away from the motor?

    How many hp are these motors?

    You mentioned that, with he sale of the metal in the turbine room, you have caught up to your schedule. So the "on time" is doing good. How about the "on budget" part of the equation? How is the return on the scrapping doing-are you making as much as you had hoped to at the outset? Are your manpower levels where you expected them to be?

    Sorry about the nosy questions....the job is just so interesting!



    Jon.
