Only two thats darn good for me.

:D :D :D :D

Actually they cocked up with the views they call the plan view side and the side view plan :scratch:.

With the elbow they call fig 2 the cylinder drawing when it's really the base drawing.

But I suppose thats the way it goes with these things I know from my time in industry we spent ages checking through specs checking and rechecking but we still had some blatantly obvious mistakes creep through, when you live with something you just get blind spots.

--- Quote ---Seems it should be mounted vertically as a wall engine. That would make ikt really stand out from all the horizontals.

The base was made so that I could fit a foot on it to display it vertical, and took some pics of it, but some how it just didn't look as good, in reality I think they would have mounted it to suite how they were using it.

Its easier to display horizontaly as well, vertically its not as stable.

Thanks for your interest guys

Just had the latest issue of ME and to my suprise in the next issue they are not only serializing the over crank but they are doing the elbow engine as well I sent them the article over a year ago and thought it had been spiked.

Real cuffed.

Cheers Dave

I've been getting a bit of ribbing and teasing from my family, they want to know when I'm having a book signing :D.

Then I got a phone call out of the blue from our club talk organiser asking if I do a talk on the engine at the club and the North Staffs model engineering club as well.

So now they are ribbing me about that, asking when I'm going on my lecture tour.

:D :D :D :D :D

It all helps to keep the old mind active, and add to the fun of life.
