   I found this on YouTube:   
      
   Molino californiano o de pisones

   Clearly it's South America (?).   
      
   They use 2 countershafts - hence 3 stage speed reduction - from "Honda   
   GX(?)" motor to California stamps.  Using flat-belts.   
      
   If they do that, with likely huge collective and individual experience,   
   and ability to improvise, it looks highly likely that is the best   
   achievable non-megabucks solution.

   Around here the dealers in used industrial and commercial machinery have or   
   are closing as manufacturing vanishes. Trump's attempt to revive it is   
   overdue but I doubt the parasitic elements that drove it offshore will   
   permit regrowth. I'm glad I saw it coming from my industrial R&D vantage in   
   the 80's and stocked up to build my projects.   
      
   Last month I bought some more channel iron pallet rack at twice the previous   
   price and listened to the yard man list all the closures and rant on our   
   decline.
