[SEL] Some engine pics

[Patrick M Livingstone]

Hi Eric,
	I was so busy getting a picture of the interesting hopper that I did
not get a shot of the nameplate. I am pretty sure the sign on the fence said
it was a Ronaldson-Tippet Austral. That hopper is pretty unusual.

The engine definitely is a 2hp, and, as it has an upright magneto, it  
can be no later than 1941.
That hopper is something you wouldn't believe unless you saw it your  
self!
Patrick, do you know if this engine had an Austral plate, or was it  
made for someone else?
