[PRR-talk] Hulett unloader in HO

[abbuchan]

Re: Erie, PA  had 1 Hulett.
 
But Erie had additional unloading equipment also. See below a condensed
clip from  the one day to be published E&P book:
 
Beginning in the spring of 1908 through 1936 several steps were taken to
improve the P&E ore dock facilities. When the upgrading was completed ca
1933-36 the dock was equipped with the 10-ton Wellman Hulett, two
Mead-Morrison clamshell unloaders (9-ton and 10-ton) and two 19-ton
Brown Hoists. The maximum capacity from boats to cars was 36,000
tons/day while the capacity to and from storage was 7,500 tons/day. The
dock kept this machinery until ore unloading operations were terminated
in 1960.
