Trip in Chatou (3 mars)

This afternoon smal visit in the workshop of Suzanne,



The mockup of the boiler has been installed, that give a good idea of the room available onboard.







Since my last visit, the deck has receveid its first coat of paint.







Some test has been realised for the helm, wonderful sculture work, finally the simpliest has been choosen.



The machine who will equipped Suzanne is a Schindler, Sequana has also another machine of the same company, it is a small counpound, very nice, probably used to drive a generator.








And just for Patrice, pictures of the oilers for the head of cylinders.

Message from Jean Jacques to Sequana

The beginning
I was in a hurry to play with my lathe!

All the modifications had been validated by Sequana, all the threading has been moved to metric's ones
Drilling

You will only have to put in place for the big show, it will be a pleasure for me to bring them when I will pass at your workshop

Jean-Jacques"


Visit in Chatou on January 14.



I spent this morning, in the workshop of Séquana, on the island of the impressionist, to bring some technical documents to them on the machines and the boilers. The boat has quite advanced, it is increasingly beautiful, you will be able to judge you even on the photographs. I was also made explain the technique used for the realization of caillebottis, that works me a little for the floors of Midship. Look at this splendid work!
