Youtube clip of Hulett unloaders at work

[teejay]

I scratch built a Whiskey Island Hulett ...before Walthers made the so-so kit , and used the video as part of the pile of reference material I needed . The machines have fascinated me for 20 years and I did sit in a Hulett bucket displayed at the museum in Ashtabula Ohio ......very scary job and dangerous for the operator . Considering that ships were unloaded essentially by hand balming back in the late 1800's , George Huletts invention was a huge step forward .
