Port Republic, Maryland, United States
|
Unique fiddle, triple block with 7" diameter wooden sheaves. Block is 36" H x 7" W x 7" D and weighs about 50 lbs. A 10' length of 2" manila is attached. This an extraordinary decorative piece for a large installation. The housing is forged metal with blacksmith forged bolts. Block is probably oak, but we have not attempted to clean it. Experts have inspected this item and concluded that it was not designed for use but as a decorative item. The sheaves are not of ironwood and the metal sheathing is not designed for the heavy loads that would have been exerted. We have adjusted the price accordingly. Free shipping in the continental US.

Honda & GM to work together on next generation Hydrogen Fuel Cells
Tue, 02 Jul 2013GM’s history with hydrogen fuel cell development Hydrogen Fuel Cells are, in many ways, the answer to our dependency on oil. But any future that uses hydrogen fuel cells to power an electric motor in a car means that not only must the fuel cells be more economical to produce than they now are, but that a refuelling infrastructure is developed. To help achieve that end, Honda and GM have announced that they are to collaborate on developing not just the next generation fuel cells for vehicles but to advance a refuelling structure too.
