Probably still running because 'they' used to make things to last!! This is a great mechanical image, nice capture :o)
Patricia Strand replied:
You are so right about that, Melissa! I miss those days of well-designed and built machines. I still use a very old Sunbeam toaster every day! Maybe I should take its picture.

Thank you, Patricia, for featuring this work in the group "Everything Manufactured"!!

I love it! I love the green of "old machines"... (wow, that sounds like a title or some lyrics to a song)... Great find and capture! FV.. thanks for all your visits to my page too! I appreciate your funny and insightful comments Patricia.. VF
Patricia Strand replied:
Kym, I know! It was the green metal that drew me into capturing this. You and I think alike! Many thanks, my friend!
Ross Odom
Strong image. I like how you got just those parts of the machine and nothing else.
Patricia Strand replied:
Ross, thank you! The machine was quite large, but this was the most interesting part.

Real printing! Nice to see that there's some being done. Excellent shot.
Patricia Strand replied:
Thanks, Odd. It's a government office where my sister works. Several other machines there had seen their day, but they keep them running.
