[SEL] re:Curt's Lorenz - a black day

[Graham Harris]

Dave and Arnie

A very black day. I'm so sorry for Curt and I hope he
knuckles you 2 dunderheads good.

On the Lorenz's the B.S. lever often snaps with just a
slight knock, the c.r.a.p roller though usually
survives. Sometimes the K.M.R's shaft could bend, but
the water jacket P.W.Y. cock(s) are made of bronze and
never are a problem. A 3-LEG PULLER gets the F.I.B.
roller off it's shaft easily and the L.I.E.S key will
come off with it. Oh, and I think the early serial
numbered engines were the 1ST to have the A.P.R.I.L.
fitted as standard. So replacing the cylinder will be
easy, don't worry.

I hope that helps soothe the bruises.

Curt,
    I think this is as much my fault (perhaps more)
than it is 
Arnie's. I
knew that the drinking should not start until after
9:00 am, but 
I was
simply weak! Had we not killed those four six packs
prior to 
attempting to
unload your Lorenz I don't think we would have
attempted to do it 
in that
way. Both Arnie and I agreed to that just after it
happened. In 
any event,
if Dolly and Jim can locate another cylinder and carb
the engine 
should be
(almost) OK! Sorry, but the good part is that it's now
on US 
soil!
