[PRCo] Re: Electric Shovel

[Bob Dietrich]

What an amazing piece of machinery!  It would make a great model but no one
would believe that a prototype existed.  The boom appears to be rigid with
the shovel shaft movable within its hinge and/or telescoping at he coupling.
Equally impressive is the contraption it is mounted on - who needs tracks
anyway?

What is the source of this photo Ray?  Can I post it on my web site?
