This is an orphaned page.

Wiki editors should read it and try to make things on it work for them.

Templates

Leaf has created several templates for use on this wiki. A brief description of a few important ones are below: Infobox:

infobox|Company Name|Inventor|FileName|Caption|Location|Types of Machine|Founding Year|Fate w/Year|Common Rebrands|Affiliated companies|

Placing a set of 2 curly brackets {{ }} around the above, and replacing the information, will generate a nice right-aligned infobox like the one here:


Sample Infobox
