Why ? Do you have something in mind?

 

[D2Cat]

Nothing in particular. I'm just amazed at all the intricate parts, how they are all mounted, balanced and timed to work together. My fingers have difficulty replacing the condenser in a distributor!

I have several Railroad watches. Some have been in the family since the 1800’s.
I have collected Hamilton, Elgin and Illinois like those in the picture for years.

It's just not the fingers, my eyeballs are trying to thread a needle to fix my backpack for my adventure. Hahaha

Yep. I sometimes, when in a store, have to take a picture of the label of something so I can enlarge it so it's legible. But that doesn't work for threading a needle!!
