Nicely done.

As for the comments about the Amish - they are not necessarily averse to technology. They just insist on being off the grid.

A few years ago, I visited an Amish machine shop in Shelby County, Ohio. The enterprising young owner produced machined metal parts for the auto industry. He had bought lathes and milling machines, then ripped out their electric motors. The entire shop was powered by a gas engine outside that turned an overhead belt. Apparently gas engines are OK, but not electric motors or starters.

BTW, I'm a small-time slide rule collector, and member of the Oughtred Society. But I'm always amazed by the collections of some of the other members. It's what happens when you mix engineering thoroughness with an interest in old artifacts.
