Here we have the rhythm of the book, which resembles the surface of a pond disturbed by a thrown pebble. Anyway, there are screws in Ramelli''s book, presuming absent screwdrivers, and we have retreated another century.De Re Metallica backs up again, to 1556, with the illustration of a slotted screw to attach the leather to a bellows. An illustrated manuscript of 1475 to 1490--a sort of household manual for a castle--shows slotted screws fastening a leg iron and a pair of manacles--castle staples. This train of thought leads the author to war, a great stimulus to invention, witness radar and the jet engine. Pollard''s History of Firearms illustrates a fifteenth-century German equivalent of the sawed-off shotgun in which the stock is screwed to the metal. Research in the Metropolitan Museum of Art turned up a screw of the 1480s attaching parts of a suit of armor. Screws were slotted with a hacksaw and the threads were filed by hand until, in 1760, Job and William Wyatt in Staffordshire patented a machine that turned out more consistent screws at the rate of one about every six seconds. The author comments that, a century before the industrial revolution, "their factory was the earliest example of an industrial process designed specifically to shift control over the quality of what was being produced from the skilled artisan to the machine itself"

But consider that when contract crews clean rarely are they supervised by someone who owns the equipment of uses it the next day. Think also of the cleaners'' perspective and experience with equipment. They can powerwash their $150 gas lawn mower and it starts right up afterwards, so how come they can''t hose off the front of a $30,000 combi-oven or the burners of a $5,000 range or griddle?A look at this year''s National Restaurant Association Restaurant, Hotel-Motel Show 48volthydraulicpowerunits directory reveals that there were more than a dozen manufacturers exhibiting all sizes and types of pressure-washing or steam-cleaning equipment. One has to wonder what foodservice equipment manufacturers think all those units are going to be used for--washing parking lots? It''s time for a reality check!

A newcomer to the market, EarthForce America, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Superstav s.r.o. of the Czech Republic. In 1998, Superstav severed ties with Mitusi Machinery, which had been selling its mini-backhoes under the Predator brand name for a few years. Soon after, EarthForce began distributing Superstav''s new product line, which includes eight medium-sized TLBs with power ratings ranging from 25 to 68 hp. The EarthForce machines offer such features as four-wheel drive, four-wheel steering, mechanical gearboxes, sideshift capability and heated safety glass cabs. At Intermat this month, the company was to unveil a new 68 hp model EF-5 with a four-speed synchroshuttle transmission.
