I are a true warrior.?ÿ Survived some of the most dangerous models every assembled.?ÿ The one in the schoolyard in my first four years of school sat high enough that you could lay underneath of it as it spun above you.?ÿ It did not have a floor.?ÿ It had a heavy board seat all around the outside.?ÿ Big kids would climb into the center area and push, then jump up to ride along as it spun.?ÿ One day, a second grader got on the inside, got it going fast, then fell under it, crawled on his belly until he thought he was past the outer rim, raised his head, a long threaded bolt hit him square in the back of the head driving his face into the?ÿ gravel surface below.?ÿ He cried.?ÿ I felt so bad about what had happened to him, I started to cry and I was fifty feet away at the time.
I??ve been playing with my antique Monroe calculating machine doing ??figuring? work in ante mid century lingo.
say you want to multiply 0.9999997 times 1200.00. The basic method is put 1200.00 on the keyboard then wind 7 times in the 1s place, 9 in the 10s then 5 more 9 windings for a total of 61 turns of the crank -OR- use the shortcut method because these machines can multiply in reverse??7 times then move over to the extreme left column turn 1 then back to column left of 7 turn backwards 1 time?? same answer but only 9 turns of the crank.

One of my neighbors has a milling machine that looks like a very large drill press.?ÿ I'd say it's as least as old as the 1960s.?ÿ He makes incredible knives.
