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. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

The paper mill I used to work at had had a groundwood mill years earlier that was driven by a pair of motors that size.
When the groundwood mill was shut down, the motors were left running, to balance the electrical load across the rest of the mill. Each motor was in a separate "room" with the drive shaft sliced off.
It was years before they installed a bunch of capacitor banks that allowed them to shut the motors down.
