I would like to thank Industry Canada and the Hamilton Public Library for giving me the opportunity to work on this worthwhile project. I would also like to thank all the students who worked on the project for their invaluable assistance during the summer. I enjoyed working with you and I wish you all the best in your future endeavours.

I would also like to extend extra special thanks to Margaret Houghton for all of her help with this project.

To my baby, Butch, thank you for being patient when I was frustrated and happy for me when things were going along smoothly...like a good milkshake.

And to the Mechanical Man: Keep on clanking away!
