Not a fan of expanding the machines navbox to include other machines? Is there some sort of MOS reference to defend your undo? Just looking at Atomic Clock, for example, I see other navboxes with more than one row: Template:Time_measurement_and_standards, Template:Time_Topics. Are those invalid as well?

The above was moved from User talk:Wizard191.

I have nothing against templates that have multiple rows, nor is there any guideline against it. My concern is with the current content of Template:Machines: 1. An airfoil is not a machine 2. "Vehicles" only has one entry 3. Electronics explicitly aren't machines 4. Linkages aren't explicitly machines. I think you could rectify points 3 and 4 by having a section called "common machine systems". Otherwise if the other points can be fixed, then I might support the redirect.
