[SEL] Wolseley R /TOMM magazine

[Jerry Evans]

Hi everyone and in particular all the Aussies,
         My next project will probably be a 1928 Wolseley R Type. This 
engine was originally made for the Australian sheep shearing market and 
most of them were sent there and, as such, are fairly common in Australia 
but not elsewhere. I have a 6 H.P. (Paraffin or Kerosene) one here 
<http://www.oldengine.org/members/evans/karoo/wolsr.htm>.
I only know of one other in South Africa of this size and one smaller model.
         An Aussie friend sent me a few scans of an article in TOMM (dated 
August/September 1998) about the Wolseley R Type (A.K.A. as "Series 4") 
written by Malcolm Mackay.
         Unfortunately the scans are of very poor quality and almost 
unreadable. I have written to TOMM asking about the availability of a back 
issue but have not received a reply and cannot find a place on their 
website to order back issues.
         Does anyone have this issue and would you be prepared to scan the 
article and eMail it to me. I would be most grateful.
         Also does anyone know Malcolm Mackay (I believe he operates a 
Wolseley registry) and could you give me a contact address for him 
(preferably eMail). His address is on the last page of the item but all I 
can make out is the Postal Code which looks like "NSW 2212".
         I am of course also on the lookout for any other information on 
this particular engine so anything is welcome.
         Many thanks in advance.

Keep the revs up (or down)
