I mean to diagram the ports in body and valve.  One of those Real Soon
Now tasks but at least before I put it together again.  I'll try to
scan the dwg with my little 1st generation hand scanner and, if
successful, let you know when it's available.

"Projects", eh?  Is *that* what you call them?  I took a slide of the
mechanical hammer I've just traded away early in the spring after I
lugged it home, while it was still sitting on blocks out in front of
my (then) delapidated little woodshed shop and back before I had
electricity.

Some years later I showed that slide at a seminar at MIT.  Someone
pointed out a blurry object in the forground and asked, "What's that?" 

"Er, um, well, that's a disintegrating paper bag full of empty
evaporated milk cans that has just emerged from the snow."  I should
have said, "Oh, that.  That's a Project!"  :-)
