Beautifull machining though isn't it? She(?) must be one in a gadzillion.
Holy **it! This lady has WAYYYY too much time on her hands!
Some beautiful machining, both the artsy stuff and the technical work.
The one with the inertial nav platform is really neat, shows somebody
moving the platform by hand and the gyro-stabilized platform holding
position in reference to the universe. Even shows it doing a quick flip
when it got near to a gimbal lock.

There is a credit line at the bottom of the home page that says the
beautiful contraptions were made by Mrs. Tatjana van Vark.
There is a white-haired woman seen from the back in the "Navigation and
Bombing System" section. You have to see "Overview 1" of that to see what
a CONTRAPTION she's built in her house!

Under Oscilloscopes, it notes Tatjana was born in 1944, she built her
first oscilloscope in 1958. She's definitely got me beat by nearly a
decade (of course, she got a head start, too.)
