1916 Rice Elevator, Oregon

Uploaded: March 08, 2014

Description

In 1916, a one cylinder 15 horsepower Fairbanks Morse gas engine powered all the machinery at the Rice Elevator. To start the engine there was a petcock on top of the combustion chamber that they would open and pour in a little ether (starting fluid). This also served as a compression release. Then they would put one foot on the spoke of the flywheel and give it a hard push and hoped it would start. This was very dangerous and some died from this starting method.
