Hi All,
         I hope you all had a good Christmas.
         Some months back there was a discussing regarding the how the 
length of a hot tube affects the  timing of an engine. I think it was for a 
Fairbanks and that the shorter the tube the more advanced the timing is and 
the longer the tube the more retarded the timing is. It had to do with the 
amount of "gas" that had to be compressed.
         Unfortunately in changing eMail programmes I lost this discussion.
         Can anyone explain it to me again or point me to a webpage that 
describes the principle (in laymans language).
         Also - Does the description "Hot bulb" or "Hot tube" mean the same 
thing or are they different animals.
         Thanks in advance.
