Engineers' Awkward Conversion Job Near Georgetown
Ontario Hydro engineers faced a difficult 60 cycle conversion near Georgetown. Two large motors weighing about three tons each had to be moved up and down a steep cliff and rivered across a ford using winches, cranes, and extensive tree-assisted rigging. The operation required six men and about eight trees over three days, marking one of Hydro's most awkward changeovers.
