I know about turn of the century piano stuff like you guys know about steam and electric stuff. The Mason Hamlin screw-stringer piano was actually an INCREDIBLE advancement in piano technology! It had incredibly stable tuning and piano tuners were worried they would lose their jobs. So they started a hate campaign against them based entirely on slander and now, to this day, piano strings are literally held in place by pegs in wood. And of course, they don’t stay in tune. The screw-stringer was an all-metal construction that needed to be tuned maybe once a year if even that. Owning a restored one someday would be a dream. But yes, funny name

I learned something new today, thank you for this and don't stop! There are a billion stories like this in engineering.

Amazing things in those days. Radium water jugs must be in there somewhere or in that era. The Sears catalog was interesting in those years too.

What is the engine on the cover of his edition? I think I know where a very fine model is of that engine

Good eye. Those are the great Manhattan engines, Reynolds four cylinder angle-compounds with an 11,000 volt 3 phase 25 cycles alternator as the flywheel, the largest reciprocating engines ever built to generate electricity. The model of one of the 59th street Manhattan engines, with the poppet valve HP cylinders, is currently languishing in the Smithsonian but you should know the model is sadly not live steam, its mostly wooden and can only be spun by a motor. I would very much like to do a live steam version. Id also like to get their Louisville waterworks Leavitt engine model, which is live steam, out of their clutches and put it to work.
