Summary

[edit]
Description

Tim O'Reilly took a group of us FOO Campers to an operational steam-powered saw mill. Super interesting, going from the edge of high-tech to steam-power and analog computation!

As a child one of my favourite books was The Way Things Work, which explains how machines do things using cartoons. I still remember the entry on centrifugal speed governors, and it was a blast seeing on in action regulating the steam engine.

The mill is being restored by the grandson of the guy who built the mill in 1914. If you're in NorCal I suggest checking it out, they have days which are open to the public several times a year.
