On the subject of spelling I have read that in previous times--perhaps even
into the 19th century--it was considered a mark of erudition for one to use
more than one spelling of the same word in a writing. I am not talking
about words that have actual alternative spellings--such as
inquire/enquire--I mean spellings that today would be considered completely
incorrect.
Whether this was a function of ignorance or style I don't know but I have
seen it in letters, etc. from the period written by people who were
obviously literate but perhaps more permissive in their spelling.

I have been trying to find sources for the parts

I have purchased and disassembled one of the

The problem with trying to use the one that I
