I need and practice it       at flea markets, ham fests and militaria shows to identify the things I want       when they are incomplete, half covered, repainted etc.              My memory and observational abilities were maxed out last weekend at a tank       driving demonstration at this museum.       https://www.americanheritagemuseum.org/?       The large main hall is crammed full of WW2 tanks, guns and aircraft, sensory       overload for this history buff.              Their machine shop was also historically authentic, a vintage South Bend       lathe etc, apparently not for show but because CNC isn't much use to copy or       refurbish worn originals that had been made on German and Russian manual       machine tools. I've read that the British and Europeans expected to have to       hand-fit at final assembly, which caused us problems with their loose       machining tolerances when we took up mass production of their designs during       WW2.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
