The typical inside width of a beehive oven was 12'.  Often beehives were 
placed back to back to save space and larry/leveler track.

The guys I worked with from Connellsville always pronounced it "laury" not 
"Larry" like in a name.  Off course both of those machines ran off the 600 
volt overhead and were hand controlled.
