[SEL] Spam> Hot tube info.

[JIM KIRKES]

Hi Tommy,

Thanks for the info,  I have been mulling over converting an 
engine that I have to hot tube.
Sounds like it would be an interesting project but it will 
have to wait for all of the other things.
I suppose there is really no point in doing this as it works 
fine like it is, but it would be fun.

Jim,
    No, hit and miss engines were hot tube also.  The Myrick 
engines
were H/M as were the Famous and most of the Type N Fairbanks 
engines.
My Stickney Jr. is hot tube and its a H/M so were the 
Gearless Olds and
many others.  I think the efficience of using a hot tube on 
a H/M was
greatly diminshed as you were using energy to heat a tube 
that was only
used 3 or 4 times a minute, more often if under load.
