.. not a 'thingamebob' # 2

.. not a 'thingamebob' # 2
- taken 16FEB2017
- changes
- some parts will get recycled
- am hoping when this is cleaned up
- it will remain on site as a reminder
- what this once did and now it is still used ( even if only for photo ops )
- just like the 100+ year old Cotton Mill
- slowly turning into useful apartments

Hey Peggy,

Looks like an old header system.
I thought of a well head at first, but the diameter of some of the pipes don't make any sense in this regard,
Also, the size of the flanges indicate that this has not been designed for a very high pressure system.
Perhaps 100 to 150 Lbs at most.
So, maybe, an old water manifold, the nature of the pipes and valves do not indicate natural gas.
But again, in the old days, anything is possible.
Sure is a nice conversation piece though.
The thingamabob theory is still a possibility.

Love talking to you, have a wonderful day.

Tim and Diane both said water pump.. so .. they win the prizes !

I said I hoped it could be reworked and be left on site as a memorial to the Mill....

That would be really nice !

An excellent image and wonderful to keep in case it is removed (which I suspect will be the case). Good work, Peggy!

Nothing from around here. Glad there is a picture now for posterity later.

27/Feb/2017 -- just came back from this re-hab site . .. the Water Pump is still there and seems it has been positioned to stay!
They are working on outdoor areas and putting finishing touches around the windows - that is what is visible.
Think I'll try again either later today or tomorrow ( when we go back to Spring ! )
