The author then takes the first of a number of ruminative breathers, speculating on the button. The Romans used buttons only as ornaments and even the ancient Chinese never progressed beyond the toggle and loop. Unlike the handsaw, which was refined over time, the button and its harley buttonhole simply appeared in northern Europe in the thirteenth century--true works of an anonymous inventive genius. Then we proceed to an influential treatise on ingenious machines published in 1588 by Agostino Ramelli, a military engineer. Among the machines is a bookstand that revolves like a Ferris wheel, holding eight books at a constant angle by means of a gearing system used in astronomical clocks. The author comments: "Of course, gravity would have done the job equally well (as it does in a Ferris wheel), but the gearing system allowed Ramelli to demonstrate his considerable skill as a mathematician." Then the scooter author writes: "This splendid folly distracts me-I''m supposed to be looking for screwdrivers."

It''s great to be able to buy a nice, new, shiny piece of machinery, but that''s just not always possible. New skid steer attachments, depending on their function, can run up to $10,000 or more. Renting is one option to consider, especially when you only need the attachment for a short time.Farm auctions are another good source for attachments. "One definite trend I''ve picked up on over the past year has been the move to sell these attachments separately from the skid steer at auctions," says auction expert Greg Peterson, publisher of the F.A.C.T''s Report (800/381-0423 or machinerypete.com). His service reports machinery prices from auctions around the country.
