| 290943 | 2004-11-12 07:44:00 | No use now, maybe - but think about its importance for the ancestors... It might still matter for today's steamship restorer nuts? (And people who're into steam engines often think people who save/restore old computers are totally bonkers.) Takes all sorts, eh? Fortunately... |

Adult web stores use this to calibrate their vibrators before sending them out. ........so I have been told :D |

| 290949 | 2004-11-14 03:27:00 | Hmm, I wonder if they used a Pallograph when testing those early steam locomotives? Maybe they used one on the 1814 Puffing Billy locomotive. :D |
