Spencer with toy (description on the back: "the beginning of an engineer") Description An account of the resource As shown in this photograph – with “the beginnings of an engineer” written on the back – Kenneth showed an early mechanical aptitude. According to one article, as a youth he "built a model steam shovel to scale and operated it with an electric motor. The Christmas he first heard of yule logs he took it on himself and his pony to get a huge log into the house and into the fireplace. It was an operation of building inclines and using jacks along with the pony’s pulling power. While he was solving the problem of getting the log into the fireplace the pony foraged in the sunroom on his mother’s plants, which was an unfortunate ending."
