Thanks for the link. Apparently Steve is channeling his inner Yoda:

Finally Delk produced a hat with which he was satisfied. And it presents on the Internet. "The next thing I remember is that hundreds of people wanted to buy this hat," he recalls. "But I was not a Hatter. Carpenter I was!"

Thank you! Best laugh of the day.

I know enough German to be dangerous, but not as dangerous as this auto-translator. It is really hard to find a favorite part, but mine might be:

"And just as he could not Kitter eye of the bowler hat on Harrison Ford's head. It was still Delk cabinet. Today he Hatter."

The German version makes sense, but this translation is totally mind-blowing.

And also the topic header: "Fans can head" from "Fans stehen Kopf".

Now, the article refers to a book: "In the Library of Congress in Washington DC, he found an old book, "Making Scientific Hat." "Anyone have a clue what that could be?

Yes, Der Spiegel is the equivalent of Time or Newsweek. It means literally "The Mirror".

It is an old out of print book called the scientific hatmaker which you can get a reprint of on ebay.:)

Half of the winning Indy team is German (ie: Marc of Adventurebilt) and Steve is the first to acknowledge that. So it's a German-American team effort in the winning of the contract and getting the hats out onto the production set. No easy task, but the boys came up trumps :eusa_clap (plus Marc is a valued member of FL as well as our cousins at COW - so we are justly proud of him).

Well, actually Marc is Danish - he just lives in Germany ;)
