Hi Will,

Those pix reminded me of something:

Perhaps 15 years ago, I decided to look for a used 20 quart
Hobart.

Shortly after that, my wife and I were driving to a
supermarket, and she mentioned her concern about just how
big the mixer would be should I ever find one.

Minutes later, I had an idea, and strolled into the market's
bakery and to my delight, saw that they had a 120 quart
Hobart.

With the permission of the baker, I invited my wife in to
take a look. With a straight face, I explained that this was
similar to the unit that I hoped to find. (As you may know,
a 120 is about the size of a locomotive.)

All the best,
--
Kenneth
