Hapur, Thank You for a very interesting and informative photo session. I am looking forward to the continuation.SmileSmile From the placement of the upper drive wheel - I'm wondering if perhaps originally the screw press came from a factory with an overhead drive belt system? With an external power source driving all of the machinery as was the custom of earlier times for many factories?

Thanks Again for the work you put into making this not only an interesting. But very educational thread. Best Regards, FP
