Vince Guerrieri, Popular Mechanics; Why the Hulett Unloader Is One of History's Greatest Forgotten Machines
"Hulett, a 2006 inductee into the National Inventors Hall of Fame,
received more than two dozen patents for various machines in his career.

92-foot-tall unloading apparatus that could scoop iron ore from a ship’s
hold 10 tons at a time—an almost unfathomable number back then, even
though more than 13 million tons of ore were shipped on the Great Lakes
that year."
