Just kidding...............

This is one of two D/C's at a nearby cabinet shop. Each concrete pad has in excess of 140 yards of concrete. Main D/C motor is 200 HP (yes, TWO HUNDRED HP). Internal water system is on the interior of the building with a sensor, so if a spark happens, water pumps through at a certain point in the pipe, extinguishing the flame. The company indicates that a normal day will have approx. 30 "events". Main line looks to be at least 48" dia.

Thought this would be of interest to some................

I think I need a new lathe..................:D
