Does anyone else find this interesting or is it just me? It's Thomas Jefferson's polygraph used to copy his letters.

It's not just you. I like this pre-Xerox copier! Certainly some of us would like to see a dremel attached to it...
Thanks for the link.

Thats a beauty Chris, do you know if he made it ? or did he get someone to build it ?
I've seen a musical instrument that I think had something to do with TJ, dont know if he made it ,but it was a set of crystal bowls that rotated and it had a key board
hang on , better google it
Just looked it up, a Glass Armonica ,no keys just fingers on rotating glass bowls,invented by Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson liked it but did not buy one.
here is a link to a picture
