Hey Mr. Motts, I love your building pix, but these ship shots to me are the greatest you have ever done. I've seen other series of this place, but you have them all beat. Still wish you would get to some of the old Nevada mines. Oh yeah, was there any way to tell who built this big old straight-eight diesel. Woodward only made the electrical controls.

Actually Woodward governors very similar to the one in the picture are still used even with engines using electronic controls. The Wooward governor is a mechanical backup to the electronic units, for overspeed protection, etc.

These shots remind me of my Grandpa's Naval ship in San Fransisco, I think it was a battle ship by the name of The Marianna
