I sent this to SteveH but thought I would share it here too. I was going through one of the many random boxes of stuff from this estate today and in amongst some teacups I found this picture of a rather fancy Howe machine. Its probably from one of the issues in the 90s of the ISMACS digest I'm guessing but still thought it was a pretty cool version of the machine I hadn't seen before.
