meters to its permanent foundation. It 
     
     was a slow, ponderous process, very 
     
     different from the way buildings are 
     
     moved today. The horses, harnessed to 
     
     the shaft of a capstan, walked in a small

     around the drum, the horses were 
     
     unhitched, the capstan moved forward 
     
     the full length of the cable, and the 
     
     process repeated. It was an operation 
     
     that moved at a snail’s pace, but the
