Boyhood Employment Sometimes Beneficial
By Karl Kay
A man named Jake Bishir was
engineer of a threshing crew that
operated in our neighborhood several
years, and I hung around the
engine all I could, asking many
questions which Jake seemed to
take pleasure in answering. He
even allowed me a few times to
steer the engine as we were passing
from, one farm to another.
One day, we had finished at our
farm and were proceeding to another
one. We drove out of our
crossroad onto the Willettsville
Pike, turned up the hill toward
town, then at the top of the hill
turned left onto another narrow
road which presently became a
very steep hill. When engine and
separator were fully extended on
this hill, the engine stalled. I was
on top of the separator and I scrambled
to set the brake which I found
to be useless. Then I began a hasty
descent for I expected the whole
outfit to run backwards down the
hill.
Meantime, two men sprang off
the platform and started to place a
large chunk of wood behind each
drive wheel. Jake said, "Move them
back two feet." This was done.
Then he closed the throttle and the
engine began to roll slowly back
until the wheels met the wood, and
to my horror, slowly rose over the
chunks and started on down the
hill. Jake yelled, "Take them
away."
The men hastily removed the
chunks, when to my amazement
Jake opened the throttle and the
engine proceeded to pull the whole
load on up the hill. When the machine
was set in the new location
and the threshing was in full operation,
I climbed onto the engine
platform and said, "Jake, we were
stuck on that hill." "Yes," he said.
"Well, the engine ran back and up
over those chunks, then you opened
her up and she went right on up
the hill. How come?" Jake laughed.
Then he said, "I guess you didn't
notice I turned the blower on just
as we stopped and I closed the
throttle. During those few moments
while we were sliding back, the
steam pressure went up ten pounds,
and that was enough additional
pressure to pull the hill. Now just
remember, with a steam engine, it's
the last 10 pounds of pressure that
does the work."
