Rich Carlstadt awesome work was on display at the Sherline booth.  While the Ericsson engine is a marvel of model making art I have a soft spot for the the Murray hypocycloidal engine.  It is hard to believe that this engine is not totally chrome plated but is, in fact, a marvel of the art of polishing.

DSC05862.jpg (88381 bytes)  There have been folks complaining that  the move from the Detroit area to Toledo made for too long a ride so they have not attended.  The fellow on the left in this photo (Eric or Ernie I just can't remember) came for the show from AUSTRALIA!!!  So, quit you bitching and get in the car and go!
