Lucy

The "Lucy" of all belt sanders.  This incredible machine was developed by a man named Eichenlaub; and yes. she's hydraulic. I picked her up from a salvage boatyard in Port Townsend, Wa.  It needed belts and some re-wiring but this machine was designed for faring compound curves. It has a clever mechanism for adjusting the curvature of the sanding surface.  Nice work Mr. Eichenlaub.

Notice the "missing" belt cover.  Ya wouldn't want to get your shirt tail caught in that!
