Holy smokes! Thanks, Chris. Never noticed that at all. Can you make out what the counterweights looked like?

I wrote my reply using my phone, which I always try not to do, especially after sitting around for hours waiting for a tech at the Apple Store to fix my better half's iphone. You know the old adage, "If Momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy." I'm sure there must be an equivalent saying down under.

I think I may even have reported something as having inappropriate content in my clumsy effort to use the damn phone to reply to that post. Been that kind of day, all day long.

I believe, Chris, that all the Red Devils were conveyers, but I don't have any real knowledge of that. I do know that I have heard the Leadville tipple referred to as a "Red Devil" numerous times over the years, back into C&S times. I'll stick with that unless someone comes up with something definitive to the contrary.
