I?m still surprised when I can get a picture in light this low. It is a shot 
of Tim Robinson, the genius, both mechanical and mathematical, who is head 
of the group demonstrating the Babbage Difference Engine at the Computer 
History Museum. Without him, I don?t think we could have been demonstrating 
this machine five days a week since 2008. 

The machine jammed last week in an unusual way, and Tim, aided by his wife, 
Lisa, are poring through the log book, collecting historical data on similar 
jams.

Question authority and the authorities will question you.
