Asch quickly quoth:
Btw...I have the Gorton pantograph book, and I may be scanning it
before long into a PDF file. Covers all the various models and setups.
OOOH! Please do. I urge all owners of old machines and manuals to scan
them to make them available to future users of the machines which
outlast us all.
Oh, and while I have your attention, emails to you don't seem to be
ACKed, so here's one all (but Terry Collins) will enjoy:

Retirement Check
The Navy found they had too many officers and decided to offer an
early retirement bonus. They promised any officer who volunteered for
retirement a bonus of $1,000 for every inch measured in a straight
line between any two points in his body. The officer got to choose
what those two points would be.
The first officer who accepted, asked that he be measured from the top
of his head to the tip of his toes. He was measured at six feet and
walked out with a bonus of $72,000.
The second officer who accepted was a little smarter and asked to be
measured from the tip of his outstretched hands to his toes. He
walked out with $96,000.
The third one was a non officer, grizzly old Chief who, when asked
where he would like to be measured, replied, "From the tip of my
weenie to my testicles."
It was suggested by the pension man that he might want to reconsider,
explaining about the nice big checks the previous two officers had
received.
But the old Chief insisted and they decided to go along with him,
providing the measurement was taken by a medical officer. The medical
officer arrived and instructed the Chief to "drop 'em," which he did.
The medical officer placed the tape measure on the tip of the Chief's
weenie and began to work back.
My God!" he suddenly exclaimed. "Where are your testicles?"
The old Chief calmly replied, "Vietnam."
