A breaker is a powerful percussion hammer fitted to an excavator for demolishing concrete structures or rocks. It is powered by an auxiliary hydraulic system from the excavator, which is fitted with a foot-operated valve for this purpose. Additionally, demolition crews employ the hoe ram for jobs too large for jackhammering or areas where blasting is not possible due to safety or environmental issues.Breakers are often referred to as “hammers”, “peckers”, “hoe rams” or “hoe rammers.” These terms are popular and commonly used amongst construction/demolition workers.http://worthrobomax.com/hydraulic-rock-breaker/
I'm getting toward the end of my Saint Nicholas Coal Breaker pictures.
These were the benches from the Coal Breaker, where the workers would place their boots before entering the showers. It still has boots, as you can see, which adds a glimpse of the human footprint which once was common there and an extra eerie sense of humanity, as if it were used just yesterday.
went to the breakers mansion today with my lovely sister in newport, RI.
i took over 300 photos of the exterior of two mansions. i cannot wait to show you more of them! ;)

The Breakers
.
Last month a spent a few days in Newport, Rhode Island and visited two of the mansions built during the Gilded Age. Here are six outside shots from the first one we toured.
"Built for Cornelius Vanderbilt II, The Breakers (1893-1895), is the grandest of Newport's summer “cottages” and a symbol of the Vanderbilt family's social and financial preeminence in turn-of-the-century America. In 1893, Mr. Vanderbilt and his wife Alice commissioned Richard Morris Hunt to design a house that would replace one on the same property that was destroyed by a fire in November of 1892."

Hydraulic Breakers For Excavators Demolition and sorting grabs are universal tools for demolition, sorting, and loading all kinds of materials. The name Multi Grapple is quite a good description for them. The basic structure is quite simple and similar for all brands: a rigid main body with two moving jaws mounted on both ends of the frame.

Built in 1893-95 and designed by Richard Morris Hunt, who was pretty busy in Newport during this time. The biggest home in Newport and designed for one of the Vanderbilt brothers, Cornelius II. (Another Vanderbilt brother had the Biltmore Estate in North Carolina built for him, one of the largest in the nation)
Beaux-Arts style.
