Quaint Tools of Yester-Year
Before the tractor was the hand plow.
These seem like quaint but fascinating tools today. I am sure that back in the day these were serious business.
The only thing I can really compare it to from my own experience was when I bought my first IBM clone 386 computer back in 1992. Compared to today's super wham-a-dyne quad core processor PC's that have more Random Access Memory (100s of times more computing power) than the Raytheon AGC took to fly the Apollo missions to the Moon and back.
Back in the day my 386 was serious business, now a comparable model would likely be found in a museum filed under quaint tools of yester-year.
