One often wonders if the donkey engines were hauled up and down the slopes into position by winching them selves in place. The trucks at the time may have been able to haul them on the logging roads but where the engines had to be located there would have been no roads even and traction engine of the time would have had a difficult time trying to drag one of those engines up a steep slope. And here I complain about having to carry a 4x4 board more than a few dozen feet.

Worker holds a 193-pound bolt and nut. This was one of 16 fasteners used to join sections of the 75,000 kW generator shaft for the Grand Coulee Dam. 1942.

Note the poster on the wall behind the worker. That's an "Avenge December 7" poster, recently created after the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941. Here's that poster's entry from the Library of Congress website: Avenge December 7
Do we still make enormous nuts and bolts like this? Or were these beauties completely replaced by multi-jackbolt tensioners, like these?
