Thanks! I have never heard that name before, but of course have seen many of those types of machines... probably starting with grandpa's machines in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang! ha

or more recently, Marco's contraptions - here's one that Gran animated for us:

you know I just keep on trying to figure out how they cook those eggs or is that just freshyly hatched egg goo on bread?

A rare Rube Goldberg film, bought and paid for from the oil companies...hmmm

yeah, think the egg should break open on that last slider before the funnel and then the funnel would be a super fast cooker - but like maybe the scrambled egg dropping is the egg just prior to the one you see going into the funnel cooker.

That was fascinating; thank you!

another fine example.... by SERPS

one of the best placeholder bugs I've seen in a long time!
