[fero_ah at city-net.com]

Bill,

The article on the Robertsonville is in the August 1998 issue of GEM, Pages
17-18.  Your friend should also look up the following two US patents (935,718
October 5, 1909 and 979,238 December 20, 1910).  Both are by Louis W. Witry
assigned to the Waterloo Engine Company.  He was the Chief Engineer at
Waterloo.  They describe in detail the mixer that is unique to the Waterloo
engines.  It was ripped off, errr, copied exactly in the Robertsonville.  8-))

See ya,  Arnie
