[QUOTE="eclipsenow, post: 75132109, member: 274355"] The parts come from hardware stores and millions of abandoned backyard toolsheds and they make a standardised block engine that fits the tractor, harvester, and other kit. Also, they haven't [I]lost[/I] the knowledge. The basics of physics and chemistry and metallurgy and the history of the development of science are in so many homes as high school and university text books all scattered across the country. There are even hobbist guilds that probably have half the knowledge needed. Indeed, I went to a Sydney Medieval day and learned that there are more old-fashioned Blacksmiths working today as a hobby than were alive back during the heyday of their industry, just because there are so many more [I]people[/I] alive than during the middle ages. There's an over abundance of knowledge out there, scattered in different homes, and I'm just certain a full scale salvaging effort would find more than they needed to kick it all off again. [/QUOTE]
