Thank you Aiden!!! Just watched the episode on central heating--very nice and one of the few I didn't catch when the series was on the Discovery Channel.

    Danish war office heated with red-hot cannonballs!

    This was from a British series called the "Secret Life of Machines". Sure wish they'd come out on DVD.

    Do you think they might have stopped using that system about the time that the exploding cannon ball was invented?

    I remember Tim Hunkin, he used to do a cartoon strip, and progressed to the TV series. He also did some Heath Robinson type clocks; is that description used over there? I haven't seen any of his work in 15 years.
