Steve, nice pics.  I saw one in your collection that really caught my eye.  
In the section of Portland pictures you took a few shots of a Bowsher Burr 
Mill #4.  That is the only one, besides mine, that I have ever seen.  I have 
a #5 model.  Does anyone know much about these?  What is the partition in 
the hopper for?  What size engine is needed to run it?  What do you grind 
with it?
