If would be interesting to know how many rpm's these engines ran at....

Thanks for the info, Tina and Claudia. I've been a cook for many years, but never worked with a tilt kettle personally. I've seen them, tho. I think they're fascinating. Yeah, I'm kind of a dork for kitchen equipment.

I actually grew up near here. My Grandfather worked at "the steel" and so did my dad. The corporate HQ were not located where Lehigh University is, but they did have a research lab at the top of this hill, and this is now part of Lehigh. Great photos..it still amazes me that something that was so vibant when I was a little kid could just vanish.

How do you get into those places? *_*

Some of my favorite memories are here. Late 60's early 70's.
Lynda Carter started here with a group know as "Speedy Garfin, and Garfin's Gathering" That was the year she won Miss America .

I'm still friendly with some of the old athletic staff. "Can never go back, but if I could"

I grew up in Rockland County. Lived in Garnerville and in Haverstraw. My neighbor and my oldest sister both worked at Letchworth. I tried but quit after about a week. Like someone said it was overcrowded and there were abusive staff members who mistreated some of the more defenseless people. But there were good hard working people as well. I just couldn't take all the suffering of these poor folks. It really was given a beautiful location. Sorry that it's going to be torn down for apartments (if that's true). There is so much history there. Thanks for this site.

Just look at that curved woodwork!!!

Boys vandalize beautiful abandoned buildings to compensate for their extremely small penises.

WOW! Such attention to detail.

What beautiful windows. The craftsmanship that went into this place is astounding.

my friend matt and me saw shadow face to face in that same eaxt hall

i made that clown face in the basement. my grandmother also worked there

I keep coming back to this one photo. Its my fav! The bluish tones of lighting overhead and also how the light hits just perfectly on that steel grate crossover. > Very Lovely Motts!

Fred, I don't know why, but that's exactly what I was thinking!

Your art makes my day's better! THANK YOU!
