Michael, about the Hamilton clock - I don't know if you're aware of it already, but there is a manual for it available here:

Well, I screwed up by not responding as I had promised .
I have drawn the entire Engine of the USS Monitor in CAD and the prints are available Free.
I ask that you only use them for your personal self
They are copyrighted, registered and protected as it took 20 years of my time in research . They exist nowhere else
This is a 26 Meg download and has 309 pages laid out for 11 x 17 sheet size if you wish to print them

Then click on the Monitor files

Amazing work, Rich. Thanks for sharing.
