Uncovering the trough which moved water and the shot mixture around the shot elevator to cut the massive granite blocks on the 12 foot blade.  The shot mixture of metal pellets and water cut the stone while the blade guided the cut.  You can find pieces of granite at the Chester Granite and Polishing Works with shot rusted onto it.  A true archeological project digging under 80 years of abandonment uncovering history.
