[TheForge] scroll machine/ power hammer

[theforge@mailman.qth.net]

I am just giving you a hard time.   It is always humorous how these 
designs get attributed.  For example, I am pretty sure that injector 
burners have been around for more than  a century -- I have books from 
the teens that describe them ( even showing them made up out of standard 
pipe fittings) but on the web they seem to be universally called Reil 
Burners, even though Ron does not claim to have invented them.      The 
Rusty/Dusty hammers were the first homebuilt hammers that I saw using 
the leaf spring design, I have seen several variations since, but 
everyday I find another "new" homebuilt power hammer on the web it seems.
