(I have LARGE versions if folks would like to see or have a copy of that just PM me, it is TOO big for linking here)

That is so cool!

Looked at the date and the scary "asbestos paint' etc. Got as close as possible to read what I could.

Wellll... Hartford Steam Boiler is still in business. I know because I work across the street from the company.

Steve, you find the neatest stuff. Thank you, for sharing it with us.

Janey - Neat people never make the exciting discoveries I do.

Steve,

Fascinating illustration of Davis factory. I have a few articles describing the illustration and the people in it.

That whole scientific american is very interesting. Thank you Steve, very neat.

That's really cool.

The building in Dayton they moved to is still there. It was for sale for almost nothing last time I checked.

That is really cool. I got the original Singer instruction booklet that came when I bought my Singer treadle.

Not everything is scary. You could buy a noiseless fan, mahogany or your very own anvil. Very cool stuff.
