Hamilton, Ontario Canada
Museum of Steam & Technology
I got to experience the task of rotating the fly
wheel. The bar weighed a good forty pounds and pivoting is down involves a
upper right to lower left motion.
That of course is you moving the wheel. I just want to also
add that it took about one full revolution of the wheel before the engine
would start and they would have to start the engine in about one hour. There
are over 200 holes which to use the barring lever in.
