[Elecraft] How are T1s built [WAS: Need winding machine?]

[Julian, G4ILO]

I was wondering much the same a couple of days ago, when trying to 
figure out how Elecraft can offer built T1s for only 24 bucks more than 
the price of the kit. Most builders claim to have taken 6 hours to build 
it, which is 4 dollars an hour. The Toroid Guy is charging $18 just for 
a set of toroids for this kit. Presumably he doesn't use one of these 
machines.

I have a vision of a shed full of Chinese people busily building T1s for 
two dollars an hour. Am I right?

I hope.

I find the concept of a toroid-winding machine intriguing, and now it's 
got me
wondering just how it works.
