Amazing place

Post by: Vidar on March 18, 2017, 12:35:23 AM: Just a great video of a true collector. I'm just amazed he has gone so deep into the subject, and thankful he would actually proceed to write a book and share the knowledge. A potential treasure from a mechanical design and development perspective.

I realized that there is no way back after seeing this. Hence I did the Google thing, and ordered the book. I scare myself a bit here, but I suspect it will be read quite thoroughly :)

Thanks to Ron for making the world that bit more colorful.
