Pretty neat.
The cover page is signed by my grandfather:

WmB.George

304 Philidelphia Amarillo Tex
Phone 2240

He started and ran a casting shop in Amarillo with the kids working too,
until he went to San Antonio and Lackland, from which he retired.

He was an unparalled mechanic and loved old cars. His latest were a 1940
Cadillac and a 1960 BMW.

That's George, as in King George.
Don't if anyone else does, but I kinda' miss that old man.
Rave over, return to your regularly schedulded programs.

I think Lindsay reprinted this one but of course your
original is much cooler!

"swivalling the headstock":
for steep tapers.
If a man can make it a man can break it.
Thanks for the reply and don't mind me, I'm off work and bored to tears.
