[SEL] Certainly NOT a Stationary Engine

[Mark Shulaw]

Records are made to be broken no matter how old they are but I agree 
in respects more to the point that it took 100?? years to do this? 
Not counting the unofficial "Barber-Nichols Team" efforts in 
1985  Which themselves only roughly equaled Marriots approx 1907 145 
mph (possibly 190) unofficial speed noted the next year.   And then 
after 100 years to break it by only 10 or 20 mph??   Surely we could 
do better then this after 100 years. Mark
