[SEL] Foos Model J Mixer

[Douglas Kimball]

Mike,
Yes, the Model J had a cast iron mixer & it was moved to near the center of 
the head as is the intake valve. On the Juniors brass mixer & intake valve 
cage are in line with the exhaust valve cage on governor side. I believe the 
cast iron mixer is nearly identical to the Juniors except made of cast iron 
instead of brass. I have three Juniors but no J's.
