[SEL] Big drag saw with vertical engine

[cgandree at mchsi.com]

Larry,
I believe that the ladys father's engine is a Stover 5hp, model "C",1905 
vintage, which is identical to mine and if the engine is still around please 
forward the serial number so I can research more data on it from our club 
museum library as we have the orginal Stover sales records.
