Both videos are very interesting!
Some with abstract thoughts will love the pattern maker's/casting video as ya really have to think.
I can see the casting in the core. Too cool.
Your links led me further to flights with The Flyer and far beyond in that era this evening!
Thanks Herb!
Since I lost my mind mind, I feel more liberated
