Thought some might find this interesting. I was in Philly with my wife's family (from Spain) last weekend doing the tourist thing. We went into the Peale museum and there was an interesting display showcasing some early wood stove designs.

I wish Peale was still around to explain them. I thought I was looking at some sort of mousetrap in one of them.

That top one looks dangerous - to man and beast. :D


Thanks for posting those pix Brandon. Yeah, it would be better if there was more explanation of the details and workings, but I suspect the museum doesn't know any of that, or there'd be more text with the exhibit ????
