Those are some hell for stout and well designed gear reduction setups, lifting and lowering (on an arc I believe).
Was studying em over on some of the historic photos on That other sight.

Can't see for the life of me what the problem would be, supplying em' with power from big diesel APUs. I'm pretty sure I saw some perched right up there close by, a part of the installation from the get go.

That fella' is indeed a schidt stirrer,...better no news than slanted and panic based guff.
