Never got the lathe finished…sorry Bruce. Had a stroke and lost my “touch”, especially on little things. 1500 hrs. Machining all, and scratch making/ building the machine shop in 1” to the foot scale. PM Model raw castings. All machines are copies of a real machine… for instance, the mill is in the Ford Museum. All power take offs work, tables with”T” slots (all had to be made with a special tool I made). Has an office with a roll top desk, and a bottle of Scotch in the bottom drawer for those bad days. Also has a ceiling fan in the office run by the overhead belting system. This is after hours, and, the machine shop cat has not seen the rat yet under the work bench. All drawings are the blueprints used for machining, just reduced in size. I have one part on each machine station, being machined at each station. The time clock has time cards with names of friends who also machine things. A hand crank puts all in motion, which is outside the building. The building does expand and contract, and all belts can be adjusted for this. This was over a 10 year project. Not for folks who need immediate gratification!

That is awesome. Shearing sheds in outback Australia used to run their shears by equipment similar but I don't know if they still do. Not as complex but all the shears in a shed would be run by a common electric motor

I rode my bicycle to to a local machine shop in the late 60's it was a belt drive shop probably originally steam drive converted to an electric motor. Stood there patiently waiting (what ME?) while Al Stieber worked on some project with a big ole stogie clamped in his jaw. He finally stopped and gruffly agreed to do my little project. Not long after he retired, closed up the shop and it was demolished.
kinda like this:

No need to disclose that's AI.
If a whale ate a boat full of people, it'd be splashed across headlines 'round the world.
Ain't heard nary a peep. 🤪
