I spotted this E-type Jaguar parked at our LBS this afternoon... a timeless beauty!

A programmer I used to work with was once on the Jaguar race team back in the day doing hill climbs in one of these.
Once he retired to Florida, he bought a restored convertible model. I was very surprised by how small it was. I expected a Corvette sized car, but it was about the size of my RX 7, not much bigger than a Miata.

Nope. Our little cities did get natural gas piped up from the valley, but these were located further from town so not related to natural gas.

GOLD!

I took this pic yesterday while enjoying the beautiful fall weather. There were once a number of these in our area. They all ceased operation in the early 70's. This is the last one standing in our area. There are probably more in the high country, but that's another long bike ride for a summer day!

Hint: When operating these could be seen for miles.

What is it?

This is a W.A.G. ... a brick kiln?

Aero style . Note the tiny rocketship decal on the white and green bike ... it has tailfins too. Physics doesn't matter if you have tailfins .

GOLD!

Gold was big here, but didn't use this equipment.

Sorry, no brick manufacturing up here...

Lumber dryer or dehydrator.

You're on the right track, but nope.

 

[Sierratim]

Wind mill

Looks a bit similar, but sorry.

Warmer.

Smoking a lot of fish or meat, maybe ?

 

[Frank/Delaware]

Charcoal Kiln?

Nothing to do with food, sorry.

 

[Sierratim]

Charcoal Kiln?

No, but close-ish.

Wood pellet for pellet stoves and pits dryers.

Wood pellet for pellet stoves and pits dryers.

Getting warmer, though it wasn't used to manufacture anything. The charcoal kiln suggestion was just 'close-ish'.

Another hint: it's pretty big, may 100 feet across at the base and 60 feet high.
