No problem, I knew it was on the edge.

Thanks for the details on the Barcarena setup. I find it odd how little the average person realizes the variety of water powered machinery in use from an early time. While everyone knows about windmills or water mills for flour, wood etc... every movie of someone forging a sword is still a lonely smith whacking a piece of iron with a hammer by hand.
