The B&W images in the article can all be found here, there's about 70 of them:

If you're interested in seeing how the insides of a breaker works click the "Drawings" link. The very last one in the series of series of 7 describing the Menzies cone is probably the most interesting one. |

I love those old pictures, seen some of them before.
Anybody know what the round building is between Main and Franklin, Northampton and South Sts. in Wilkes-Barre? It's next to the YMCA, at the back of the Army/Navy parking lot. It's been around for some time, not new.

I know what building you are talking about, but unfortunately do not know what it is...

I love that picture of the Ashley breaker. My Grandfather worked there and so did my friends father and my father-in-law.
