8. Det gamle maskinhuset

Heisen i Skråsjakta blei først driven med hestevandring. I 1884 blei det lagt ein 1666 meter lang turbinledning til eit vannhjul i Oddefossen, og heisen blei driven med vannkraft. Vannkrafta på 10 Hk dreiv også vannpumpene og steinknuseren.

Seinare blei heisen driven med ein vedfyrt damp­maskin. 

Machinery house (the old mine)

The lift of the inclined shaft was first powered by a horse whim. In 1884 a 1666 meter long turbine line was built to a water wheel in Oddefossen, and the lift was powered by water. The water fall efficiency was 1O Hk, which also powered the water pumps and the crushing machine. Later the lift was powered by a wood burning steam engine.
