Photo taken by Mark Weatherbee with comment by Ed Nawrocik: Ram Blower, gear box, and motor foundations. The Ram Blowers and gear boxes were apparently relocated (the motors were salvaged long ago) and the motor foundations have been demolished since this photo was taken (date of photo unknown but estimated around 12/30/24). NOTE: The Ram Blowers were a product of the former long-time Trenton-based DeLaval Corporation, and each was driven, via the gear boxes, by a 6000-horsepower variable speed motor operating at 13,200 VAC. The fourteen Exhausters were also products of the defunct DeLaval Corporation.
