This one might be worth a lot of money. I would love to know the story of how it got to the tiny town of Hiouchi, California!

My dad worked for Yorkshire Tar Distillers. His processing plant looked very similar. Fresh Bitumen has a wonderful aroma

Oh, definitely. It doesn't even make me nauseated or give me a pounding headache! (How could your dad stand it?)

What a complicated piece of machinery. It is a wonder it ever worked. Beautifully polished metal, though. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Seems hopelessly complicated to me, but Italians engineered the Ferrari, too, so...

Thank you, Ronald, and I did!

It does. My question is, what's it doing in Hiouchi? I should have asked someone in the store next door.
