Hello again all,
Re thread1528-368459: Ascending & Working Aloft On a Ship's Mast - No Halyards Available
If you want to see where I volunteer, here's your chance!
Our local television station has posted a story about how our "captain" arranged to have some of the work completed. There was more I would have recommended we do, but as I expected when he made his plans he did not consult me, therefore only what it was his pleasure to see done got addressed [yes, we have issues].
Unfortunately I cannot alter the fact that if you choose to view the story at http://barrie.ctvnews.ca/video?clipId=631066 you will have to watch an advertisement first; feel free to mute the sound during the ad.

Forgot to post link to main engine going on kinetic display; this http://barrie.ctvnews.ca/s-s-keewatin-fires-up-its... is it.
The only thing that continues to gall me and always will is the 'fires up its engine' part, which in my view is all marketing hyperbole / smoke and mirrors, and far too suggestive of an internal-combustion engine.
End of mini-rant.

JohnRBaker is correct; kinetic display motion is achieved via single-phase-power-supplied VFD driving a 40HP 3-phase motor using the original barring/turning gear mechanism, but with the original steam barring engine removed.
