And they think Rube Goldberg and Roland Emmett just made up their stuff! They had excellent source material in this type of machine!
If I remember, wasn't Captain Flint's houseboat (the "Fram") at one time a steam excursion boat - which would have had similar Rube Goldberg mechanics at one time - or at least modeled after one in the stories?
PS - Thanks, Jock!
