I should have remembered how you scrutinize everything in the background of my photos. The 1871 Edward S Clark, South Boston, steam launch engine has nothing to do with the coffee mill, except share a place to rest. Likewise, the Smith's of Derby tower clock, whose pendulum rod is visible in front of the mill, does not make the coffee at a preset time. The Carlisle Finch bipolar motor/dynamo is very much like the motors used on the motor driven Parker mills shown in their catalog.
