One
of the interesting items found were threaded anchor bolts about one inch
in diameter. In at least one area a built up footing was found and
is believed to be a machinery mount. Here, John Stewart is
cleaning off the footing from years of vegetation and forest
litter. The anchor bolt pattern on this footing was two rows of
four bolts, and the distance from first to fourth bolt was about 13
feet. Assuming one device was anchored here, it could have been a
steam engine, a pump, a compressor or a hoist. A literature search
indicates that there were many devices available that would have fit on
this footing in the 1870's. |
