Although the drive motor (1:03 starter motor?) with the RT angle gear box is a modern addition, it all works like a charm...and still someone needed to gather and cut the straw! Wow!

    And I think Mrs. PJ needs one of those Yarn Recovery systems...pretty cool but looks complex to thread to start the process.

    All of these machines have a mesmerizing hypnotic effect on me. I cold sit and watch them for hours while trying to visualize each and every gear and linkage it must take to make them work.

    Roger that Frank! The lace machine is off the charts as well. I can't seem to find a vintage of the machine but the rotating spools and timing with the fingers to what ever pattern is being produced has to be top in its day at those speeds. Also notice the use of the flex shaft coupler on the hand wheel shaft at :10!! Truly a Franz Mesmer special!!

    Even more impressive at .25 speed on YT!

    But this one for a 3 phase stator winding is even more Mesmer...Note the automated Hi-Pot test toward the end and the tie wrapping system is prestidigitation at is finest.
