A Simplified Baby Machine
My primary reasons for agreeing to write this exhumation of the past are contained in this and the following section. So if you have skimmed through the preceding, but have a developing interest in synchronous cells or the bacterial cell cycle, this is the point at which you might consider reading more slowly. I completely understand why someone might be reluctant to embark on stud- ies with minimally disturbed synchronous cells if it is believed that the baby machine device is too complex to construct and use. In my biased opinion, this notion is inaccurate. The baby machine process for generating synchronous cells is remarkably simple to perform.
