I think once or twice, I’ll have to look through my notes. It wasn’t that many times I am sure!

It’s just a couple blocks away from this building and and we dropped by to look at it. You have to wonder how something that big could have been economically portable. Was it ever even moved?

The idea with the “portable” is that AWP could move it wherever an elevator was burned down or needed for a long time. It looked so big, that I am unsure how many times it was actually “moved”. There is a model of it at the Grain Academy in Irricana
