Scientific Instruments of Medieval and Renaissance Europe

I just stumbled on Epact <http://www.mhs.ox.ac.uk/epact/> --where
among other things, you can browse their illustrated catalog of
medieval and renaissance scientific instruments. Just fascinating, and
another way to indulge in productive procrastination. [:D]

"Productive Procrastination" ! That's my new term of art : ) Thank you, verily.

One of the reasons I "employ" Patty for research is my tendency to look at every
leaf, while checking the forest.
