What a great/interesting photo back then apparently needing a replacement piston was a common occurrence.

There are so many items of interest if you really scan the photo, a lot seems familiar as my "shop" memory goes back about 65 years.

Moby Duck, I have them scanned. Now while my generation was brought up learning to read and write not just print. My Daughter's generation still partially so. At least both of my daughters can write. However in terms of the next generation of kids almost all of the millennials under the age of 25 or 30 are not even taught cursive in many of the schools any more. My youngest Daughter has been teaching 3rd grade for 18 years she told me that the curriculum for teaching cursive beyond just the student's signature has been do drastically reduced most students coming into her class have never even seen it. plus they can barely even print legibly.
I am typing my mother's journal to be included with the scanned pages then I will burn them to a mini DVD or thumb drive or SD or what ever the preferred storage media happens to be. At the same time I will print up Hard copy books for my two sisters, my kids and their kids if they want hard copy books for their grand children or great grand children I will print and bind them.I can just as easily print and bind 50 books as I can 4 or 5.
But if anyone wants a copy of my life journal they are going to have to dig it out of my archives after I'm gone.

I've not been diagnosed with dyslexia, but obvious traces of it or another perceptive hitch in me, along with astigmatism. It's OK, I can still read verniers better than most.
No surprise, I would have bet Frank S be first to make the example readable. He has touches of related impairments too.

Toolmaker 51, did you do this on purpose? Or, were you touch typing with a failed spacebar microswitch? Actually, the text is - readable even with the odd typo or dropout. Germans, however, do concatenate words. Don't know if there's a length limit. First came across this in a book at age 12 or so, mostly pictures but in German. I'd done grades one and two in Innsbruck, after fleeing from the Ukraine, and was now in late elementary in Buenos Aires. The word that surprised me in the German quasi science coffee table book was "Raketenantriebenflugzeug", literally "rocket propelled flying thing". No problem, I knew all the parts. In English things happen in the opposite direction. My wife's convertible is sometimes referred to as a "vert". A certain Chrysler muscle car was a "cuda". On the odd IT help forum I cringe when I see "puter". I attribute this to what I think of as "sloppy American speech" but must admit I've seen Canadian students do this as well.

Intentional, and I mean to post drawing referenced.

The goofy text is a different impasse of ready understanding. But, a yummy lol: I had intermittent space-bar problem too. Air duster repair job, versus nice pizza crust and crushed peppers.

I teg your tniop TM51 about my esobrev weps and ytilibigel. I would have given his drawing back and said to the guy; "Did you do this? Really?...Do You know how much this will cost? Is this going to the Moon? Fix it!" First off he could have referenced the datum and first feature, then dimensioned the feature with X times .9850 as well as the gaps with X times .2159 and saved you a Swad of work. If the features weren't equal there still other more simplistic ways to dimension. Near as I can tell he was just being lazy, dimensioning. Decimal Points = $$$...Hello! You can draw to 4 decimals but dimension to 2 or 3 with tolerances in the tolerance block...eciffo ym fo tou enog evah reven dlouw taht gniward A

Well, Toolmaker, I had the same exact problem with my Dell cordless keyboard a few years ago. Crumbs and bits of food and pastries, dust, debris, mixed up and heavily matted with Chocolate Labrador inner fur and outer hair which had "mysteriously" taken haven inside my keyboard.

Sidenote: Labs shed 24/7/365, as many water dogs do, but this one has a few other quirks. He audibly yawns at 0-dark-30 in the morning, he sneezes no less than a half dozen times after he yawns himself awake, and he grunts [something like an "OOMPH" sound] if I don't pay attention to him when he nudges my elbow or hand for a pat down!

I audibly yawn [don't all you guys do that?], I have allergies to the AIR in Florida, [only explanation I have for ME sneezing 24/7/365], and, if a pretty lady scratches my back ....... well, we won't go there right now with the sound effects ......

Back to the keyboard overhaul, I decided to remove the top of the keyboard case and check things out. I removed a few phillips screws and popped off all of the keys, carefully lifted the top cover off of the keyboard, and then I gasped ....... which in turn sucked in a few Southern Yellow Pine pollen thingies up my nose and I began to sneeze! After the sneezing fit subsided, I took a close look at what was under my keyboard!



I found an almost solid mat of dog hair and remnants of how many meals and snacks I consumed at the computer desk all intertwined together! I wondered why I had so many sticking keys, yeah, now I am thinking that I was lucky there were even a few keys which were NOT still sticking!

Long story short, I carefully lifted the dog hair mat up off my keyboard innards and dropped it into a trash can. Most of the consumables came along with the mat, that's how thick the area below the outside of the keyboard was matted in dog hair in many areas. Like I said I lifted the dog hair mat off ..... from the QWERTY to the NUMBERS block in one piece. From that point it was a matter of lightly blowing compressed air throughout the keyboard area and making sure there was nothing left inside the "control central" to stick or stop or plug up anything else for the near future.

Bottom line, that photo dates back to 04/18/2013 so the cleaning was well worth the time it took to remove the keyboard cover and keys and do a Spring cleaning on the keyboard. One suggestion though, it's a good idea to take a digital of your keyboard prior to the teardown, it makes it substantially easier on the re-assembly when it comes to some of the seldom used keys. [Without looking, do you know where the "standing pipe" key goes? How about the "Pause/Break" key? Just sayin' ...
