eric sprado Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Sorry: They built STEAM ENGINES!!!! for ships Worldwide.... The foray into power hammers seems to have been a VERY short and ill fated effort. Here's one of the brief descriptions from Wikipedia. Nice to see a building that old being revamped. http://www.encyclopediadubuque.org/index.php?title=NOVELTY_IRON_WORKS Here's list of ships they either fitted with engines or did the siding on: http://www.machine-history.com/node/515 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Francis what *size* champion? 30#, 60#...100#? The motor that runs a 25# LG probably will not do a good job for a 250# LG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
