More images and info soon!

 

I guess I'll start at the begining.

Rex mixers were built by the Rex Chain Belt corp out of Wisconson. The chain belt invention actully started

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For sale?

 

You are in Oklahoma, yes?

 

(I like the new site layout, BTW. Nice work!)

Hey!! It's really good to see you again, hows things with you and yours?

and Thank You for the compliment!

 

In Okla yes, 4 sale ....no, sorry.

Theres 1 in the factory and 1 thats mounted on the back of a truck that the owner has painted red white and blue but is only used for parades.

I called for info on the water tank release amounts and had an interesting several hours. According to the guys I talked with in the factory and the two retired guys, this one is the only one in use they know of.

Just dandy! I try to stop by once in a while and admire the postcards/history of the castles and use elements for inspiration when I doodle with SU. I think by now you could almost put a book together, you've got one of the most extensive collections I've ever seen.

 

Working on a land purchase, and if lucky, will put a certain archaic-looking building on it some time in the future. Hope your project is still coming along apace! That mixer certainly looks like it will help.

 

RE: The mixer. A cement mixer in a parade? Really? You know you're in Oklahoma when... (J/K in case it wasn't clear, I lived by Lexington for a while, OK is a nice place.)

The post card book would be up to Andrew. His collection is well thought of by the English Royal family and by many others.

Gordon has written a book about Scottish castles and is for sell, not expensive either.

Me, I have enough trouble making time to post

 

Wish you the very best on the land, hope it turns out good!!

 

whoops I didn't write that post very well, the mixer was made by the Rex Chain Belt corp out of Wisconsin and its home town is where the parade happens. We brought it home from there.

An interesting tidbit of info which will find its way into the original topic some time or other is that the Rex Chain Belt co. made these to be taken to a job site as they preceded the ready mix truck.

They are referred to as a small batch plant and I'll try to expound more on the history up top.

The chain belt was used on the original cement delivery truck and since found its way into everything including aerospace to military applications.

 

But yes .... believe me .... you are correct about Oklahoma. Both meanings!

That's the first I heard, Duncan. I've supplied pictures to nobility and government organisations, but not, as yet, (as far as I know) to the Royal Family! Of course, they may have come to this (or other) websites and seen stuff I've posted - who knows!!!

Through a second party they gave you several compliments and discussed a castle I believe, but it was several years ago.

Who knows who walks in the door? the Shadow knows .... oh right, sorry, wrong topic.

Meg and I have extensive board programming so yup we know.

Ahem...cough cough tut tut

English royal family

.....Don't you mean British? The English Royal family died out in 1603 with Elizabeth and then the Scots arrived...unless you mean the Royle family!

yeah well, maybe he is that old.

Sheesh, what can ye expect from a transplanted Irish/Scottish Celt? English history has never been one of my long suits and over here they think of the Kennedy's as Royle's.
