[SEL] Spam> Another Hunk of Iron

[Judge Tommy Turner]

Thanks Ken!  They really had something when they invented that ignitor.  
Just like the 4 cycle design, it set the standard for things to come.  
My engine doesn't have a tag on it but I notice in the patent info it 
says the patent was assigned to Schleicher Schumm.  I wonder if my 
engine would have had a tag that just says "Otto Engine" as the later 
ones did or if it would have had a tag with Schleicher Schumm on it?  
Maybe some of our "Listers" can provide some info.
