This view is the same as View #1 and #2, taken a few minutes after the shot had been completed showing the results of the blast. Approximately 250 lbs. of dynamite was used for this shot producing approximately 2,500 tons of broken rock with a substantial saving in cost of drilling and blasting.
This view shows the Quarry where we started operations in May 1940 on the northerly side of the Quarry under the new system of drilling and blasting, after drilling had been completed and the holes loaded for "shooting".
A photograph of the limestone quarry at the Lime Kiln in Colchester, Vermont; circa 1925. The tracks of the tramway that carried the stone to the kilns can be seen at the bottom of the photo.
