     On Saturday I did my usual cycling tour of nearby yard sales, and I
came away with a real treasure:

     It's an intact Millers Falls breast drill.  It's a bit rusty, and the
chuck collar is frozen for now.  But, I will take however long it takes to
carefully free it using Liquid Wrench and some gentle vise-gripping, then
disassemble it and give it a thorough cleaning.  

     I found an identical one on evilBay with a photo that shows it mostly
disassembled, so I know what I'm dealing with:

     There are three positions for the crank length, and two speeds on the
crown gear.  It's a far better breast drill than I ever thought I would
find, and since I paid just $15 for it, it will be worth the effort.
