[SEL] Venn-Severin engine

[Richard Strobel]

  G'day all;
Been in contact with Mr. Snipes over in Medical Lake, Wash.  He says the 
engine was started on air....compressor driven by a tractor engine.

   Hopefully someone can answer a couple questions.

  Is that a spark plug in the pix and what possible would the hand wheel be 
used for?  Pretty much everything else we understand...cooling line, etc.

  According to the bible, this is the largest engine they made..300hp and 
gross's out at 35,000 pounds.

  Will get more pix's posted when we get over there..hopefully in a couple 
days.

  TIA

PS:  Not interested, just a looker, and hopefully help find it a new home.
