I want to congratulate you on your accomplishments, and urge you to do a
tiny bit more work that will be infinitely MORE valuable to the project (I
know that you are a bussy chap).  Take the time to write out a few pages of
descriptions of what you have learned about each of the different machines
and how they work, and what pitfalls you came across so that other may not
only learn from your work, but extend and maintain it if necessary.  HTML
wold probably be best, but don't worry about format, I am sure that I or
someone else will gladly step forward to worry about that if necessary, but
do please set down to paper as it were, what you have learned know matter
how horrible the prose or explantion might be.
