About the Staff

Professor Piggington is an amateur practicioner of the Dismal Science who has constructed a vast difference engine in order to aid in his analysis of real estate market cycles. Day and night he toils amidst the thrashing gears and noisome coal-smoke of the so-called Chrono-Collapsometer.

The Professor’s only joys in life are his Chrono-Collapsometer and the occasional tincture of opium.

 
Mr. R____ is the Professor’s put-upon assistant and scribe. He is responsible for the authorship of this website. Because he is a coarse and disgracious member of the Working Class, you will find that he has abandoned the faux-Victorian theme in the day-to-day entries. All correspondence to the Professor should be sent care of R____ via electronic-post.

Mr. R____ laboriously transcribes one of the the Professor’s lengthy diatribes.

 
The maintenance of the Chrono-Collapsometer is exhausting and dangerous work. For this purpose the Professor employs a team of child-laborers and passes the savings along to you.

The Collapsometer tech-support staff takes an ill-deserved break.
