OK you started it!
The first Kalieco (?) machine I saw was in Hollywood I think. No kidding, the dang machine was tilted so far off of the machine beams it wasn't funny.
My first thought was, "Uh...why isn't this machine tied down on the front?"
It was, but the back isolation pad on the drivers inboard side was crushed to nearly half their thickness. Oh...and it had a disc brake. "Nice machine" I thought to myself. Yeah right.
Those pads were by the way supplied by the machine mfg'r. I don't know how it turned out at inspection time, but it looked bad. Last I saw of those machines...back to HW.
Doesn't Otis make an overhead machine that is lifted up on one back corner by design? When I saw one a number of years ago, I immediately called my supervisor thinking this machine was headed for disaster. He informed me that "it's that way by design" OooKaaay.
