WOW!  And here I was thinking that my old, black, cast iron AO microtome was
from the stone age!  ;o)  Gordon, thank you for sharing the photos and user
guide - it was quite enlightening!

Gordon,

Thank you for posting the instructions and photos!
They brought back memories of my student days back in the fifties. I can
recall that one of my colleagues almost lost fingers when the piano 
wire broke as he was changing a specimen stub.
Many hours of microtomy practice and even more hours spent hand sharpening 
the Heiffor knives!!
I still have two original Wilkinson sword knives in my possession, although 
they are a little worse of wear now.

Once again, thanks for the memories.
