Re: MOVING THE BUCYRUS
It is indeed Martyn, and good to see it preserved.
I recall a Vulcan Insurance report many years ago describing an operator substituting an oxygen cylinder for the air supply to start an R-B dragline. Fatal consequences.

Re: MOVING THE BUCYRUS
Yes Dave,oil and compressed oxygen, a deadly combination.
It was interesting to see this old beast "spragged" to turn it.
Don't think this would be passed by the HSE these days
Cheers
