by the way,how do you have a link but change the name to shorten it?,this one is a bit long
You may be right, but that railing in the picture is, I would guess, a good 20' from the ovens. The car that guides the coke into the larry is also the machine that removes the door so that the oven can be pushed. On the opposite side, the pusher car also has a door remover.
To change the name in the link, type, in your post, then paste in your copied link, followed by [color=#FF4000]] then type in the new name, for example LINK, then follow this with . When you post your reply, all that will appear is the word LINK, which, when clicked on, will take you to the site.
