Happy New Year to you all,
I hope that you had a good Christmas. We had a fairly quiet one, but took time to visit a few of London's museums. I spent a delightful afternoon exploring the Science Museum and found some fascinating exhibits there.
Jaquard Looms - The Science Museum was in the process of getting an old Jacquard loom going again.

Dolly's Sweater
There it was, the famous sweater I had heard and read about.

Old Computers
I've always been interested in computers. This brought back a few memories of working with keypunch cards and mainframes, and some equipment that is even older.
