Chris Johnson notes: Did you know that prior to trying to site the generator in the Mill Ruins Park on Park Board property, Crown Hydro was working on building
it in the basement of the Crown Roller Mill? Did you know that the reasons they are not building it there is because they would not promise in writing to the owner of the Crown Roller Mill building that there would be no vibration and no damage from such vibration? Brandt: Maybe so, but those who have done their history homework understand that this building had an operating turbine in it for decades and has yet to collapse. The building dates to 1879, and its power system is described as at least a century old and operated until 1933. Because the historical turbine transmitted power through mechanical means, I'll wager that it produced more vibration than a turbine producing electricity. Steve Brandt Kingfield REMINDERS: 1.
