Bob's reply to Sven reminds me of something I told an apprentice one time. We were moving a 112.5 KVA transformenr with a couple pieces of 3/4 EMT under it to use as rollers. I told him "this is how the egyptians used to move transformers"! He said "Wow! I didn't know the egyptians used transformers"!

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry! [Linked Image]

He was pulling your leg!

Ask him to go and get an adjustable needle nose pliers, or a can of blue steam!

I have some other views of this "Rope A Dope Installation" and when I find them I will post them.

I was once involved with moving a 60,000+ lb piece of equipment a few feet.

We did it like the Egyptians, rollers under the four legs. No not EMT but solid steel bars about the diameter of 1" EMT

Two favorite ones for sending apprentices to the stores at BT was for a can of tartan paint and an AC battery. [Linked Image]

I haven't had a chance to look this one over, but along the lines of "blue steam" and "tartan paint:"

Of course they didn't. Thats why they had to watch TV in the dark.
