[SEL] Japanese engines

[William Young]

Erman-san,  When I first read your email, I was sure that you missed the translation of your friend's dactylog or that the engine he referred to was an import.  I have an Isami and it is NOT  hit and miss.  I sent email to both Wakahara-san and Morishita-san, the latterbeing the Japanese counterpart of our Wendel, asking if there had been any H & M engines made in Japan.  I have been under the impression there had  not been.  I am still waiting for response from Morishita-san, but have heard from Waka as follows:
> Hi, Young-san, Yanmar Ltd. only produced the HIT&MISS >engine. The engine is very valuable.  Please inform me >when there are some questions. Thanks, Waka,SO, THANKS TO YOU ERMAN-SAN, I HAVE LEARNED A BIT MORE ABOUT JAPANESE ENGINES -- AND I DO HAVE A COPY OF MORISHITA'S2006 BOOK.  ( ALL OF THE PICTURES THERE-IN WERE TAKEN IN ENGLISH;MOST OF THE TEXT IS IN JAPANESE.)
