The Machinery PIG concerns itself with the equipment that would have been powered by the Farm PIG's livestock. as well as that which might have been found in the shops and factories used in its manufacture. Members serve as a information clearing house on topics ranging from the identification and dating of equipment to its safe operation at living history sites. Through onference presentations, hands-on workshops and ALFH-list postings members lso discuss where to find equipment, recommend foster-museums for unwanted quipment and examine how modern curatorial practice can guide the long erm preservation of machinery. If oil and grease are involved, we'll be here.
