| | | Hydro Mill < on 10/6/2016 3:49 AM > | Reply with Quote
| | | (These photos are from 2016/06/25) This was a mill that my friend found... somehow. he doesn't remember. But a couple days and zero research later, we found ourselves inside what we now call Hydro Mill. Just like Sportscar Mills, we were expecting a bunch of big empty rooms. Instead the place blew our minds just as hard as Sportscar. 01: Sawtooth
02: Clogged
03: Bad Neighborhood
04: Electrical Controls
05: By a Thread
06: Another Exit
07: Dynamo
08: Turbine
09: A Small leak
10: Overpass
11: The Roar
It looks like godrays, or a thin curtain in the wind, but it's actually water screaming through a hole in the pipe before continuing on its way into the river. The entire river has to pass through either the bypass pipe or through one of the several breaches to actually continue on.
12: A Third Exit
13: Turbine 2
14: Rotten Blades
15: Plummet
16: Lombard Governor Company
This is a speed governor for the (long gone) original hydroelectric equipment. In a flawless demonstration of the legendary quality and reliability of ancient machines, every single part of this governor still moved and spun like it was brand new. From some Google research, we were able to find only one other identical governor in existence, which is in a collector's hoard somewhere.
17: Lighter Area
18: Fire Damage
19: Cavernous
20: Rusting Voltage
21: Living on the Edge
22: Packard Bell
My friend and I came back later with a laptop, PATA-USB adapter, and a homemade power supply to see if the hard drive still worked. We were able to extract it and it spun up, but all we got were disheartening clicks and no data.
23: Second Floor (Left)
24: Panes
25: Shadowy Stairs
26: Newbury 75 Ton
27: Inject and Extrude
28: Floor 3 (Middle)
29: Vintage Computing
I still can't believe there's a C64 sitting in this place.
30: Machine Shop
31: Dell Optiplex
After finding the Packard's hard drive to be dead, we then tried the Dell's. To our delight, the hard drive still worked, and we were able to make a 1:1 image of the disk. Unfortunately there was almost jack on it.
32: Bridgeport
THIS IS A VERY PRECISE, VERY EXPENSIVE MACHINE.
33: Older Molder
34: Pipes and Valves
35: Buttons and Meters
36: RPM
37: Exercise Bike
38: Dunk Steps
39: Chalkboard Notice
40: Rear Overview
41: Sawtooth, From Above
42: Finality Overall just as amazing a place as Sportscar. I read an article from some months back about how the place would be turned into apartments andthat they were going to get the hydroelectric equipment running again. Like hell they will, those machines are ruined.
