Cost yes, especially if the turntable was used simply to turn a car or an engine as it need not be at ground level in order to match up with the floor of a roundhouse. As it appears there was no roundhouse associated with this table, that may have been the case. It does appear that the 'pit' is at least concave. > Great find Bob! > Interesting how the turntable appears to > have been sitting atop a leveled dirt area > and not a walled pit.
