Our club went on a drive yesterday. Great turnout, about 40 people, so many cars, I am guessing 18. Nice drive through the hills east of Sacramento and ended in Sutter Creek which has a foundry that was started in 1873. The foundry made parts for the many gold mines in the area and even shipped things to San Francisco. We were given a tour and your first thought was : how did they make are this stuff without modern machines. The tour showed us how, but I kept thinking that when it hits 100 degrees outside, the foundry must be at least 130 degrees. It was all powered by water originally. They had enough water power to equal about 150hp. Belts ran all over the shop running machines.
Very interesting. Oh yea, the cars on the drive. The oldest was late 48s MG TC, the newest was a 1989 Lotus. Great turnout. We have people that tell us they are not "club" people. But as an individual, I probably would never have seen this foundry.
