And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.

Paper mill I used to be at had shut down the groundwood mill and left two motors about that size running, else the mill electrical system would have suffered. They were walled off in their own rooms. Quite a sight. Ran for years until sufficient capacitor banks had been installed.

Back in the old days, one had to power the line shafts and use stream to heat the dryer section of the paper machines via boilers.
