Outside my garage I have a large frilled block of wood looking not unlike
the crumpled rear end of the Titanic after it had hit the ocean floor
vertically at 20 mph and blown half its plates off.  It's acting as a lid
for a piece of old electromechanical junk I periodically raid for parts
and has been out in the rain for, must be, 20 years.

It is, in fact, the stack out of an 1912 Angelus 65-note upright which
was given me to take away by a London piano repairer.  The only good
things on it were some regulator pneumatics which I removed for someone
repairing an Angelus pushup.  It was otherwise unusable, most of it being
built up in blocks of early plywood using some glue which had resigned
some time earlier and allowed all the layers to spring apart and warp.

This historic artifact is available for anyone to take away _now_.
