Isn't sanity really just a one trick pony, anyway? I mean, all you get is one
trick, rational thinking! But when you're good and crazy

> Hey Dan,
>
> Here's the picture I was talking about. It's a wood cut from Bartolomeo
> Scappi's "Opera". Scappi was the private cook to Pope Pius V. The "Opera"
> was published in 1570 in Venice. the engraving depicts the field kitchen
> the Pope's lackeys used to prepare food for him while on progress.  The
> largest cooking rig in the background is an "A" frame.
>
> What impressed me most about this, was the total use of cooking space for
> spitted food. A careful inspection shows hooks for spits on nearly every
> surface.  Even on the legs of the stand in the foreground.

>
> The pic is around 100k and I've tried to keep the resolution so you can see
> construction details.  The peak of the "A" meet and join with a pin that
> comes up from the bottom.
