Ken, as I read your story about the recorder I kept getting an
image of you, the recorder, and the letters in a segment of PBS'
Antiques Road Show. ;-)

Yes, the story does have that feel. I have always been fascinated by early-in-the-process scientific equipment where you can see people employing creative good-enough solutions to problems. For example, the "return" on my early cumulative recorder is really fishing line and a lead weight. I laughed very hard when I saw that item and feel comfortable in concluding that Ralph Gerbrand was a fisherman.
