This might make some cry. I was going past the scrap bin outside Fitting and Machining at work this arvo and as old habits die hard I had a quick look inside.
Look's like they have been having a clean up/out.

Most of this is extruded Cast Iron about 75 -80 dia X about 80 -100 long. The orange thing is an old refrig compressor I think- probably for ammonia.

Black Mild steel about 50 dia X 50 long
scrap 04.jpg
More 50 X 50 buried in there plus a few clamps.
What you can't see in the pics is the small steel bench with half an old alignment exercise. Approx 50 dia shaft, about 500 long running in two good plummer block bearings bolted to a lump of 100 X 50 channel. Quantity of lawn mower bases with wheels and half disassembled motors (bought new for exercises, never cut grass) All damaged in one way or another but still lots of salvagable parts on them. I counted at least 3 cast iron flat belt pulleys. These were an old student turning exercise way back - probably up until the 1960's. About 250 dia X 60 wide. They kept a lot after the exercise was discontinued years ago to use as a balancing exercise. Plus lots of other scrap.
Now, to answer the question everyone is thinking- Did I salvage any of it? No I didn't. I dont have room for it plus the bin is about 1600 high ( I can just see into it standing on my toes) and nothing nearby that I could use to climb into it.
