have not heard a songbird in 40 yrs,is way out of my hearing range,I do on occasion hear Sonny Terri & Brownie McGhee when I shave tho.

Great thread, fellows. I would have chimed in by now, but know nothing of chemical things. Mike, that steam engine is remarkable. You are fortunate to have time and skills to participate in that. Love to see old machinery run!
On the celluloid, it seems I read where Case or some other maker had the roof on the celluloid building hinged so as the explosion came, it would flip the roof open and it could be closed again. Thanks for these words and banter, Gentlemen. Quite good reading! :tu

A fellow I knew in the Navy had transferred to our ship from a minesweeper. I asked him why the overheads of the pilot houses of mine sweepers were always made simply of canvas instead of steel like every other was ship in the darn Navy. He explained this was in case the ship would detonate a mine, the bridge team would be blown through the canvas instead of becoming greasy smears on the steel overhead.

I laughed so hard I though I was going to have a baby.
