Installing the turbine (2)

"After all this, I think we should celebrate this milestone. It has been a long time since we held a significant party. What do you think about this Virtya?" Alexandre asked with a smile. His hair swayed with the relaxing cold breeze that was coming from the forested area of Pollow in the west. He squatted down and scooped up some mad from the ground with his fingers before he brought the contents on his fingers close to his nose.

Sniff! Sniff!

"Disgusting! I don't know which fat ass dude defecated around here. This whole place is reeking of shit. Just look at all these maggots squirming about fervently... Man... I am tired of staying in this place. I feel like I am in a shitty dungeon. I think we should not stay here for another day." 

Alexandre stood up and stared at Tanya who was staring at him with an expressionless face and he didn't bat his eyelids as if he wanted to see between him and Tanya, who will win this staring competition.

Seconds ticked by...

"Bu! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! You win my lady... Ha! Ha! Ha!"

Seeing that he couldn't compare himself with Tanya, Alexandre turned to Virtya.

"I am not a robot... No, I am also a human." Virtya turned his head and walked a for a few steps towards Tanya and said,

"Definitely, if Tanya allows us to put on a party, then... Who am I to refuse it. My baby... No, commander Tanya is lovely and cute, I think her comment on this is crucial." Virtya stoped. His face was plastered with a big smile as he stared at Tanya's beautiful ear that had been exposed because she usually tied her hair into a ponytail.

"Pull the wagon forward!" The foreman hollered.

The foreman had decided to change his plan and right now, he had decided to ignore using the narrow bridge to access the west side. He would simply be letting down the turbine directly towards the upper part of the undercutting where it was supposed to be held.

However, before the turbine could be set up, another foreman was ordering other workers to fit an extra long round steel in the falling waters of the waterfall. This was the place where the turbine was supposed to be placed.

One should know that the pieces of round steel that Virtya was using for the axle were 3 metres long and the both ends of each round steel was not the same.

One end of the round steel had a diameter of 15 centimeters while the other end had a diameter of 13 centimeters. This size might look almost the same but the difference was huge, this difference was what was enabling the workers to easily fix other round steel to each other as the smaller end would be easily inserted into the wide end and then the nuts and bolts were used to fasten the round steels together.

Anyway, the fasteners had to go down on the steep sided gorge of the waterfall and then a 3 metre round steel was let down. 

These fasteners were not needed to untie the round steel from the hook of the pulley first, they were first needed to fasten this round steel onto the previously made exposed vertical H beam.

Of course, this H beam alone could not hold this heavy round steel in place. If it was not supported by the pulley, the round steel would sway in the wind and the brushing of the waters of the waterfall. This might make the round steel to either bend due to being overwhelmed by the force of the falling waters or the wind or the round steel might break or uproot the vertical H beam from its place after being swayed for a long time.

Therefore, the fasteners had to use a round steel that had a tee shaped end to connect the hanging round steel onto the previously set up horizontal H beam that lay across the undercutting. 

After connecting two T shaped round steel on the hanging round steel, it could be seen that this hanging round steel stood firmly and it was not easily swayed around by the brushes of the falling waters.
