39,000 lb./ft. of torque at 80 rpm

Here is a link to an antique engine at some old-timey festival thing. Pretty sweet, if you ask me.

I imagine it would have been used to power a factory of some sort... ANyways, just a cool find.

Wow, 50 years at full power with no mechanical failures, that's amazing! Why can't they build car engines like that? lol

If they did, why would you buy another one? they'd have great sales, for about 10 years. then they'd go out of business.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, scotch in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming HOOOOYA !!!!!

Ahh yes, the fuel-oil powered Sulzer. Truly an engineering marvel. Seems like anytime a "huge engine" post starts up, this motor is not far behind.
