How about some vintage 1943 machinery that still looks pretty good?
And pics of new office (and shop) would be interesting!

The US Patent office has beautiful, high resolution patent drawings on line. Also, the Smithsonian Institution is a treasure trove of drawings and photographs. https://patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/pages/US149068-0.pngThe images that come up are lower resolution but each has a "view original" link in the upper right corner.A google search for us patent office steam engine will get hundreds of links.Stan: I went to the Smithsonian a did a search for steam engine pictures and this is one of the things that came up. I think it might have something to do with the "device" in the picture that Marv posted but can't quite remember.I will keep digging.Thanks,Johnhttp://americanhistory.si.edu/collections/search/object/nmah_1063728

Nice and cozy looking office.I bet people are eyeballing that lathe.
I was at the NEMES show a few years ago and someone was selling some beautiful prints of old engines and I kick myself for not buying any but I had no idea what kind of wall space I would have.
I also try and keep the dusty machines (grinders etc.) away from the other machines. Here is a picture of my dusty room.
