[SEL] the weekend

[Jim Kirkes]

Hi Dave,

What does the small shaft do that is belted to the flywheel 
of the Atkinson engine.  Probably a govenor but I can't see 
enough detail to tell.

Hi Craig, I haven't had time to name most of the pictures 
but the pictures I took at Astle Park are on
http://good-times.webshots.com/album/563901673vfyHVp
The first pictures are the "rare as Dobby Horse Shit" 
Atkinson Cycle in the Anson tent.
I also liked the horizontal Lister D, but then I always did 
have a sense of humo(u)r.
Many other good engines, in fact after 24 years of attending 
the 1000 I must
have seen about 5 engines new to me every year including 
this one.
Lets hope we get better weather next year
