Norm, first of all, sorry for your loss, hope all is well now up in MA!    I've been an occasional reader of your blog and thought to drop you a line to see how you and your blog can help.  I have an old friend who loves tinkering with old knitting machines and would love to get any info that he can about them as well as the latch needles that were made by The Torrington Company.  I don't know how to use your blog, but is it possible to put up a post about a request for info/ literature/ catalogs, etc on latch needles and possibly what needles went into what knitting machines.  ??  

is that something you can help me with?   If you have any ideas about how to go about it, let me know.  I'm wondering if the Torrington Historical Society has catalogs and needle literature?  Any ideas about that?  Respectfully, Michael Brauer
