[SEL] Announcing new engine parameter and dating datbase - I need YOU to help please!

[Paul Pavlinovich]

I've just developed a new database hosted from Steam & Engine. The 
purpose of this database is to record engine details for a particular 
machine to enable people working on similar engines to get the 
information they need and possibly to roughly date their engine.

This idea will only work if it gets a lot of engines in the database, so 
if you have a few minutes to spare, jump on and put in whatever details 
you know about your engine(s). It is perfectly ok to be anonymous. If 
you cannot answer all the questions, just answer what you can - speaking 
as a restorer - any detail is better than no detail!
