Summary
| Description |
English: Original caption: Granite Monolith from Mount Airy, Surry County, NC. Text from the volume describing this figure: The (North Carolina Granite Corporation) is adequately equipped with all necessary modern machinery and appliances for quarrying and handling the stone. In 1905 a large stone-cutting plant was erected. The stone is carried from the quarries to the railway cars by a system of inclined cableways, run by gravity. The limit in size of dimension stone is the capacity of the railroad cars. Blocks weighing 20 tons are reported to have been frequently shipped from the quarries. (See Pl. XX.) |
