[SEL] engine ident.

[Ken Christison]

John,

That information is sure a lot different than what Wendel says in his book.
Bottom right page 117 of the "150 years of IHC", or else I am reading
it wrong.

Also wonder why the difference in the VC designation since the chart I 
have up is supposed to be from the factory records.  Perhaps we can 
find an original Myers setup with the 1HP engine.

One thing for sure.  It is confusing;-)

Take care.

Ken
