Moving The Fischer Interrupterless X-Ray Machine
Its not often we actually move a machine that weighs more than both of us combined. We had a full crowd
of spectators, virtually every cat in the neighbourhood!

This transformer weighs more than most people!
Milo is keeping a watchful eye on progress.
Amor is a little less interested.
"Can you keep the noise down?"
