Thank you all for your replies. Yup, once again I got my 15 minutes of fame and I don't think anyone is going to be able to wipe the smile off my face for weeks - smiles that are reserved for VERY special occasions :-) This article means a great deal to me, as it demonstrates that people appreciate my efforts. Not only because I am a woman involved in a male dominated hobby (for those who don't know, we don't have any other ladies showing engines in S.A), but because in a small way I have made a contribution and have received recognition from people I look up to. And that is an amazing feeling!!! It's a pity that the write up was written in Afrikaans (our "Second" language) - and I do realise that no one was able to understand it. When I get home from work tomorrow afternoon I will translate it into English and share it with all of you.

I asked the owner if the cylinder was a Bessemer, as that was what it looked like, but bore no marks. He replied that it was not, it was a licensed copy, as Bessemer was overwhelmed with orders for some time. He said the maker was South Penn Oil Company. I found this in research: "Bessemer's chief customer, the South Penn Oil Company, wanted so many that they paid royalties to manufacture additional half breeds in their own shop at Allegheny, Pennsylvania. During the first three years of manufacture, 10,000 pumping units were converted in Pennsylvania and West Virginia." I bet there were probably dozens of manufacturers of conversion cylinders.

The difference is that the incoming low voltage is interrupted by a set of low voltage points. The incoming current activates the core and makes it a magnet. This pulls the points open and breaks the curcuit. Field collapses, no longer a magnet, back to start. So, we get the buzz. Ok, now to check.the system. With a meter, check the secondary windings. Earth to plug lead. If you show continuity, then thats ok.If the needle shows open circuit, its stuffed! Primary windings should show continuity and almost no resistance. Again, open circuit, stuffed. BUT the main part of these setups was the low voltage points. If they were dirty, corroded, etc. and current could not pass, then the whole sequence could not happen. So much so that replacement points were/are available. Ya gotta come back to simple basics on this. Then it becomes easy to sort the troubles. Ok, outa here. Hope what I said helps.

They were bad about corrosion here, a hand sand blaster with baking soda, used outside, works well for clean up. If it buzzes and doesn't have much fire, try an automotive condensor attached externally across the points, the condensors in the coils usually failed to open. If it works the condensor can be mounted externally or you can take it apart and dig out the large old one and instal a new one. The new capacitors are available at electrical suppliers, I don't remember the values, but there are articles on line that show how to do it and what to use. J.B.

These units are encased in plastic coatings with a loop-looking armature. If you cut the armature so you can poke it through where the buzz points are and add a condenser, they will deliver a nice hot spark. I hated to see a nice looking finger-jointed coil box relegated to the mantle... If you cruise some of the junk yards you can usually spot something which will fit the bill. The newer coils have way better insulation than the old units and hence are much smaller. Hope this helps..

Message-ID: <59401.168.215.206.73.1254771494.squirrel@www.rustyiron.com> Folks, It's that time of year again! Cotton Ginning Days will be Oct 9, 10 and 11 in Dallas, NC. Same place as always. This will be year 22 if I am remembering correctly. The county estimates the spectator attendance at 25,000, so if you like demonstrating your old iron, this is the show for you. As usual the SEL area will be the wood sawing area just below the cotton gin and engine. Saturday evening at 5:30 we serve a free country dinner to all folks displaying. Bring your engines, tractors, antique cars, and swap items to Cotton Ginning Days. The website for more information and the map if you've never been is here. Hope to see you this weekend. Curt Holland Gastonia, NC P.S. Looking for log saw and operators. We had 6 running last year.

At the same time it has migrated from hand built HTML to a content management system called Joomla. About 75% of the content has now migrated across. I'd appreciated feedback on the look and feel of the site and for you all to add your related clubs and societies to the new directory as I'm leaving that migration to last to ensure I have the most up to date information possible. Another request is for you to review the SEL FAQ which has been migrated intact. Many of the answers there are between 3 and 10 years old. Things may have changed and may need to be updated. General site http://www.steamengine.com.au/ Direct to the FAQ http://www.steamengine.com.au/index.php/ic/faq If your questions/comments/feedback are about the site plese send to me directly off list. If you want to discuss something about the FAQ then on list is probably best. On the FAQ, I'm seeking an icon or picture to represent each FAQ item. If you have something suitable that you can give me the rights to use please let me know. Remember this is your FAQ. Unlike the old site, I can grant the rights to contribute articles and pictures directly. Contact me offlist if you're interested.

The cog railway is a tourist attraction, and as such the steam locomotives are an integral part of the attraction. Their management has been bitten by the green disease, and I think they would like to wholesale dump steam and everything it represents just as the Grand Canyon Railway has done. Its not just maintenance, its a "religious" thing to them. How much of our industrial history must be sacraficed before this green fad ends?

My understanding is that the brakeman controls the car and maintains a small distance between the coach and the locomotive. The coach's brakes are doing all its work during the descent. The locomotive uses a system whereas the cylinders become air compressors and that resistance is enough to control the speed of the locomotive. If the coach's brakes should fail the locomotive would have the ability to stop the movement. It may not sound as if that were possible but its worked for over a hundred years that way.

(There is always the "Delete" key - bottom right on your keyboard.) Seeing as that the topic is steering toward antivirus software maybe some of you could give me a few pointers. The computer that I use to connect to the net with is a 4 year old Acer laptop and only has a "Celeron" processor (1733 Mhz with only 512 Mbytes memory - running Win XP Service Pack 3 with all the updates.) Yes, I do know that it is a "shitty" little computer but for now it has to do. I've always been very aware and "up to date" on viruses (virii ?) and used "Norton Antivirus" for many years but, a few years ago when I was still on dialup, the Norton updates became just too big (more than 10 Mbytes) for a dialup connection and I installed "AVG Free". (I do not use Microsoft's Firewall or Antivirus.) AVG worked very well for me but then they brought out ver.7 (I think) and now with updates I'm on ver. 8.5.420. This damn programme has now spoilt all my "computer fun". It is a total "memory hog". When I start up each morning the darn computer is useless for about 10 minutes while AVG "does it's stuff". (In "Task Manager", "performance" is "red lined" all this time and under "Processes" I can see that it is AVG (and their "add on" - TeaTimer) that is hogging all my resources) This "hogging of resources" is so bad that, if I open "Notepad" (for example) and type a letter it takes about 5 seconds for the "letter" to show on the screen. The next problem is that the "f%#*g" programme decides to run it's daily scan and updates at 5:00pm every day - I change this often but the next automatic update always "resets" it to 5:00 "f%#*g" pm. AVG seems to think that all it's users are imbecilic idiots and, no matter what they want everything is reset to what AVG's "f%#*g" programmers deem best. On this computer that "scan" takes about 2 hours and in that time (usually about time to check if the new "SEL" digest has arrived :-)). the computer is totally useless - AVG is hogging everything. (I do know that I can set "Scan Options" in case you are wondering). Other problems that I experience (on this computer) are: i) When saving a file using the "save as" command the windows "save as - pop up" box takes ages to reach the stage where I can click on a folder or directory - I suspect/assume that this is while "f%#*g" AVG makes sure that I'm not opening a folder that has a virus in it - it seems to scan the whole disk first instead of letting me choose a folder and then only scanning that folder. After all, AVG has (previously) scanned everything on my computer, why should it now waste all this (my) time just to ensure that there is not a virus anywhere. ii) I used to have a problem with it's "f%#*g" email checking as well but managed to disable that some time back. My ISP (as I'm sure many others have) has a pretty good prog to sort out all the "nasty" email. O.K. those are my gripes - now for some answers from you guys. Please note that I'm looking for "constructive" answers from knowledgeable people. If you want to post an answer then please give reasons for your recommendation based on my post above. I'd really like to hear your reasons as to why I should change to "such and such" an Antivirus programme. It has been recommended that I change to "Panda" or "Avast" but nobody has given reasons. Paul mentioned Microsoft and gave good reasons but I'm "Anti-Microsoft" (Hi Rob & Kelley - no I cannot change to Mac at this time :-)) - should I lower my expectations and go for Microsoft and why ? All I want is a programme that does not consider me to be an idiot. I want to be able to tell this programme what I (THE USER) would like it to do - not what the "f%#*g" programmer thinks I need and, if I tell it to do "so and so" I do not want it to "reset" to what the "f%#*g" programmer feels is best for me on every update. I also do not want it to hog all my resources while it is doing it's job. I'm keeping an open mind here and asking for advice from guys who know what "it's all about". FWIW - I have not had a virus on any of my computers for many years - I put that down to "common sense" more than my choice of "Antivirus Software". I've also been "connected" since the days of "Bulletin Boards" - about 1991 - not as long as Paul but certainly not a "newbie" to the Internet. Hey Paul, I used to use "PC Tools" long before "Norton Commander" and Symantec arrived on the scene. My first "computer" was a "Sinclair" - I think it had the magnificent total of 1 Kbyte of memory before they brought out the next version which had (again, I think) the magnificent total of 64 Kbytes of memory. That was a long time ago - now my engines are far more important to me :-) The first virus I got was "Stoned" I'm sure you remember it! At the time I was seriously stressed about it but, by todays standards it was harmless. There were no "Antivirus Programmes" in those days. I often wonder if the "Antivirus" vendors are not the guys who write the viruses in the first place. All for now, thanks to all who have read this far before hitting the "delete" key.

I use their 360 protection on a home computer. They've come a @#$ of a long ways in reducing overhead. Nothing at all like it was a couple of years ago. The charts showing performance hits blow Trend, McAfee and the others out of the water - they now have the lowest performance hit of any of the major vendors. They have completely redesigned the scanning engine. On SEP, you get the deltas of the updates. The issue is that viruses and threats run into the hundreds of thousands now - not like it was a few years ago. There are literally over a thousand new variants/strains and threats found every day now, some morph in hours, some with each new infection so the vendors are having issues keeping up. A co-worker here uses AVG at home but has admitted that he's found he still needs to resort to other things when he's doing high-risk work because, well, it's not kept up like the major players have. (most folks will never be exposed to the sort of risks we are - although those who like to visit certain sorts of sites will be much higher risk than any of us!) He's is very familiar with multiple protections and for heavy work, he still prefers SEP and says it's less overhead than his home AVG. I've not compared, but know that they have put a lot of work into reducing their overhead and it shows here at work. Folks hardly notice the regular scans now. And there are good reasons to do a FULL scan of all files each week. Trust me on that, been doing this very thing since about 1989 - 20 years now. "The rules have changed" as they say, in the world of viruses and other risks. Try dealing with rootkits, rogue browser helpers/phony av apps, etc. You don't even want to consider your papa's antivirus in today's world. Even with the very best of protection, what should be safe web sites can and will infect your computer. You need a GOOD FIREWALL, too - forget that Windows firewall shit, biggest bunch of crap ever. Worthless. Even I can crack through it! For the full protection, browsing protection, firewall, intrusion prevention, etc. - I use the Symnantec product. At work, I can even decide what will run and not run on your computer. Whitelist. If I don't want it to run, you can't run it. If I don't want it in, it won't get in, and I can block your USB devices by brand, model, etc. as well. I've rigged it so autorun.inf file won't function, and you can't run DLL or EXE files from certain areas. I've even built custom IPS signatures that look into packets and block certain content. Love those products! I protect 28 servers and 350 workstations and notebooks. At Principal, I did the same for 1,200 servers and 16,000 computers around the globe. I used SAV CE there.

If you have a protractor scribe the angle you want about where the top of the vise jaws will be when you machine the part. Put the part in the vise and pinch it on the scribe line. Tighten the vise so that you can still move the part with a soft hammer. If you have done this fairly accurately it helps to set one end (doesn't matter which) slightly high so you know which why it will need to move to be on the nut. Now get out your trig tables and look up the tangent of the angle you want to machine. In Eldon's case .1989 for 11 deg 15 minutes. Now put your indicator on the head of the mill. I prefer a drill chuck but any way it is solid will work. Use an indicator that read in .001 increments. Now contact the indicator to the work and adjust it till reads zero. Drop the knee an amount equal to the tangent or .199 (rounded off here) without touching the indicator move 1 inch. If the indicator reads zero you have the angle, if it doesn't tap it slightly to correct the position and repeat the process until it reads zero for both ends. The accuracy can be enhanced by working the baseline over a longer distance. For instance if you use 3 inches the tangent will have to multiplied by 3. If this is done with care you can easily machine an angle to several minutes of arc provided there is an accurate surface to reference to.

What I did was uninstall AVG including going through the registry and removing every reference to it there. (The "Uninstall" left plenty of AVG stuff there as well as "plugins" in my email prog. directory) I decided to go for the Free Avast and installed it. Quite a painless operation. Although many of you recommended other software I decided to go this way for now - if it later proves to be a bad decision I'll look at it again. Well, so far so good, my 'lil ole Laptop is almost acting like a real 'puter again. When I ask it to do something it reacts immediately now. Time will tell if it was the right decision. Also, while it is doing a scan I can carry on working normally without the annoying pauses and delays.

I never had it to reset MY Preferences in any way. My schedules stay where I set them, And Scan options stay as I set them. Even after a Full Number Update IE: 5.xxx - 6.xxx - 7.xxx etc. It actually sounds like your Laptop's HD is getting a bit flakey. 4 years is a long time for a 2.5 Inch drive to last. Does your laptop have 2 drive capability? (Second HD Port) If so. Check arround your local computer shops for a New/Good Used one of ample capacity Backup anything important to you, Or use a HD-Setup tool (Maxblast for Maxtor's) (Data Lifeguard for Western Dig.) etc, Usually manufacturer specific. But Maxblast can be purchased for use with any hd brand. I suggest those, Because they both have a full partition copy utility to backup/replace your current drive. XP Is Terrible about File fragmentation (All Windows vers since ME for that matter) - Solution 1- (Retaining all your data) a) Do the full Drive-2-Drive copy ( Usually takes about 2 minutes/Gig.) on 20 and under about 1 Min/gig over 20. b) Nuke (Recertify) your old drive, And either reverse the copy procedure, Or leave the old drive in as an Archival storage drive. It should last a good long time in that role. My Suspicion is that you are getting actual media damage to frequently re-written areas of the drive. One final note on the above. If at all possible Hook your 2.5" HD up on your Desktop (Via an adapter) to do these tasks. (The reasons are many but primarily Heat problems) - Solution 2- (Losing all your current data) a) Use the system recovery CD's/DVD's that came with the laptop to restore it to factory configuration (Asuming the drive passes the Preliminary tests) b) Re-Install every program you use (Actually USE) and start it off fresh. You May have gotten some other computer advice from me in the past, So you know I know what I'm talking about and there isn't much point re-hashing just to create more distent among the other users here. If you need any further help on this, Feel free to E-Mail me off-list at swork at endacomm.com or Endacomm10 at yahoo.com (In Order of preference) Steve. P.S. I use (and have used) AVG Free for many years now with NONE of the problems you wrote about. I Cannot say the same for Norton's , Avast , Defender , Or Panda. All the aforementioned brands have made countless appearances on my repair benches ! The only other one That seems to cause very little trouble is Trend Micro's AV (NOT the Internet Security suite). Which is the only other AV Tool I recommend to my Customers/Clients. < Looks like I can get long winded as well Huh ??> ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jerry Evans" To: ; Sent: Wednesday, October 07, 2009 5:50 PM Subject: Re: [SEL] Now Antivirus and O.T. > Trimmed < > The computer that I use to connect to the net with is a 4 year old > Acer laptop and only has a "Celeron" processor (1733 Mhz with only 512 > Mbytes memory - running Win XP Service Pack 3 with all the updates.) > Yes, I do know that it is a "shitty" little computer but for now > it has to do. > Trimmed < -------------- next part -------------- No virus found in this outgoing message.

We're really scraping the bottom of the barrel right now to find enough cash to finish the building. I'll be at Coolspring on Thursday selling copies of the Tod Engine book, so please pick up a copy of the book there or order it direct if you won't be in attendance. Contributions to the building project are sorely needed right now. We have absolutely zero overhead, all money that comes in goes directly to buying materials and supplies or for equipment rental. The engine is one of the largest stationary steam engines in the United States, and certainly the largest one that has been moved and reassembled in recent years. There is an easy way to make a contribution online by going to this page: https://www.networkforgood.org/donation/MakeDonation.aspx?ORGID2=311728637 Or you can send a check to the address on that page. Either way we need your support, and soon!

Looks like we will fly into Chicago and drive up to Buckley, spend a few days there then come back down again to Portland the following week. Like to do Baraboo, but I have a feeling that might be out of time for us. Has anyone got the dates for all three shows handy? Our youngest son is going to come with us this time, we found a bunch of air miles that we didn't know we had, that will help a lot with the flight costs!

Valve timing is a science - just ask those who have cams custom ground for specific needs for performance, etc. There are grinds for performance in general, for top end performance, and for low-end torque or grunt. There are grinds for more MPG as well. Valve timing will vary from engine to engine, maker to maker. You need to follow the *Manufacturer's recommendations* for the most part, unless you know what you are doing. Otherwise the side effects can be: Lower dynamic compression - or even higher dynamic compression (NOT talking about "static compression) or You can shift the power band up or down depending on which way you shift the valve opening and closing, valve overlap, etc. You can impact idle - make it so it won't idle worth a crap, or have a "rough idle". There's opening angle, closing angle, lobe separation, lift, ramp acceleration, and more...... Do not second guess them unless you know what the heck you are doing. Yeah, this applies to antiques as well as modern Honda engines running at 10,000 RPM. for magnets..... Vibrations do assist in the "lining up" of the poles on the molecular structure while charging. You do need to get as strong a field as possible, a weak charger means the magnets won't reach their full potential no matter how hard you bang on them or how long or many times you charge them. More winds, more power through the windings means more magnetic strength. This translates into better charged magnets. Yes, a weak lame charger can charge a dead magnet so it may work, but it won't be good. Weak magnets mean weak spark. There's a science to this..... and a lot of very good web sites on this issue - some of the best ones are AIRCRAFT related...... (wonder why they are so concerned about good magnet strength?? I don't get that....) Sort of like auto ignition coils - more power through the windings longer means the lines of force are stronger, and when the collapse, you get more output. So you need the strongest magnets you can get - this means you need a strong charger. The younger guys are "shade-treers" and didn't pay attention in their science classes, IMO. > HI, GUYS??

No biggie but it's too much like shouting and hurts our eyes. Anyway, per the valve timing, I assume you are talking about a low speed flywheel engine with atmospheric ("automatic" or "suction") intake valve. If that's the case, the exhaust should open around 40 degrees before bottom dead center and close just a little past top dead center. I find that most engines like to have the exhaust just closed just a few degrees past TDC. A little fiddling with that may optomize performance a little. As far as boiling of a hopper cooled engine is concerned, if it is throttle governed, it will eventually come to a boil even at no load, no matter how the ignition is timed. The heat is dissipated via the boiling process, not by radiation so boiling is the normal running temperature. If the engine is hit and miss and is running right and not pulling a load, it may never reach boiling. As far as magnet charging is concerned, you need a very strong field in order to properly charge any truly magnetic material. That means LOTS of ampere-turns. The charging field needs to be several times stronger than the magnetized strength of the material being charged to overcome hysteresis in the individual poles and turn them far enough in the same direction that they stay there. Having said that, I've just exhausted my knowledge of magnet charging and defer to the superior knowledge of others. :-) Take care - Elden http://www.oldengine.org/members/durand Take care - Elden http://www.oldengine.org/members/durand > -----Original Message----- > From: sel-bounces at lists.stationary-engine.com > [mailto:sel-bounces at lists.stationary-engine.com]On > Behalf Of William > Young > Sent: Monday, October 19, 2009 05:54 AM > To: SEL at lists.stationary-engine.com > Subject: [SEL] TWO THREADS > > > HI, GUYS??

I was aware of some of the factors you mentioned about?cam design and valve timing, ???Perhaps the following info will be of interest to you.? This moderately old 8hp Kubota engine?has 6 in. bore, 8 in. stroke and flywheels of 2 3/4 in, width, 27 3/4 in. diameter so you can see it is no Pygmy. ? This engine will probably never again be called upon to do an honest day's work.??I?hope to have it start easily and run smoothly.? Valves set properly should help here but cam lobe design is fixed.? I hope to have different mufflers -- one producing a throaty roar, another a muted whisper and a third, the smoke ring blower. ??? Because "Manufacturer's recommendations" are not available,?I made this appeal to the SEL crew.?Thus far I have mated crank shaft gear and cam gear timing marks, which would be in keeping with mfg's design.? Next, using adjustment on exh. push rod, I set?the exh. valve to open about 30 degrees before bdc.? These are "eyeball" degrees, estimated degrees.? I know i could count gear teeth, do some arithmetic and get a closer estimate.? i also know this engine will never be expected to excell or compete in any of the categories you mentioned.?? My last option is ( I think ) to make whatever? adjustment?I can?by playing with intake push rod length.? Can you tell me what??optimum remaining setting?I seek?to achieve?these parameters:? Long engine life;? smooth engine running at lower speeds;? lower operating temperature under "no load" condition? P.S.? I'm willing to start all over again should you come up with something better? -- no cam grinding, please.? Thanks,? Bill ??

Adjusting the lash has a slight effect on the valve timing. That's after all the fuel mixer and ignition timing tweaks are done. Ignition: Timed for just a tad after TDC for idle, changeable to about 20 degrees BTDC for 500 RPM. Ignition device: Home-manufactured solid-state. Intake valve spring strength: Stock spring, tweaked for best operation. Mixer choke: Spring tension adjusted with needle valve for best operation at both low and high speeds.

In other words, it takes more than one trip for it to fire. He thinks the armature bushing and/or the guide rod is worn as the fit is very sloppy may be causing the problem. I can make a new bushing for him but I need to know what clearances are required. The manual I have from the "oldengine site" gives data on setting the points but doesn't say anything about the fit of the armature bushing to the guide pin. Does anyone have any data or dimensions of the guide rod and the armature bushing so I can check it? Any help appreciated.

The sloppy fit due to wear is a common problem with the Wico EK mags. And it definitly will affect performance up to and including no spark at all. The two armature arms must pull off the coils at the same instant with a good SNAP. You should probably be able to true up the shaft and make a custom bushing that is just a slip fit. OTOH, most of the "mag guys" like Mark's Magnetos will do an exchange of your Wico EK for one that is guarenteed to work (new coils & condenser, new busing, all in proper adjustment, etc.). The cost of the new exchange mag isn't that much. If your "repair" doesn't do the job, consider doing the mag exchange.

My plan is to make a new bushing to fit the armature. The locating pin isn't worn appreciably as the diameter measures the same at the top and the bottom where the armature doesn't touch so it should be fine. I would like to know how tight to make the fit of the bushing to the pin. I will keep Mark's Magnetos in mind as it appears I may have more older magnetos to look at. Thanks for your help.

Fit to a shaft thats been worn and trued up. Long as its not worn too bad. If the shaft is worn too badly then it will need a new bottom frame, or bush the worn shaft, Theres a couple ways to skin that cat. Rupert, As for clearances I'd estimate a couple thou. Should be easy for you to whip one out. I assume you will true up the old shaft? No need to oversize like we do for other things when compensating for thermal expansion.

The British Airways crew and the Customs & Immigration guys were superb, couldn't have asked for better treatment. Rest of the trip went well, and no problems going home :-)) Found the data, your exact machine isn't listed, but there's one pretty close: 1BDG-38 - can be: BD-3 (3kW DC 32V or 125V 1500rpm) BD-2A (2.5kW AC 1ph 120V 60Hz 1200rpm) BD-3A (3kW AC 1ph 120V 50Hz 1500rpm) Leaflet for that model range shows a single-cylinder diesel with radiator cooling, same bore and stroke as you quoted, direct-coupled alternator or dynamo. I'll scan the brochure when I get a minute and email it direct to you. I'd suggest that the 'M' in the designation could be 'Marine', possibly a marine auxiliary generator. Looks like a neat little unit.

It's formic acid, Tom. Same stuff that stings when they bite, but diluted. Rats were a welcome change in RVN after six weeks of mutton. I think part of the deal to have the Oz troops there was to buy mutton. We're talking mutton, not lamb. Some of it had to be as old as I was; the chops were huge. It wasn't bad for a while, but after being seared on the barbie, baked, fricasseed, sauteed, fried, boiled, sliced and fried like bacon - any thing else was good. The Montagnards would catch these good-sized rats, gut, stuff with a potato analog tuber, wrap in leaves, and bake in hot rocks. Had worse.

I asked the owner if the cylinder was a Bessemer, as that was what it looked like, but bore no marks. He replied that it was not, it was a licensed copy, as Bessemer was overwhelmed with orders for some time. He said the maker was South Penn Oil Company. I found this in research: "Bessemer's chief customer, the South Penn Oil Company, wanted so many that they paid royalties to manufacture additional half breeds in their own shop at Allegheny, Pennsylvania.

The difference is that the incoming low voltage is interrupted by a set of low voltage points. The incoming current activates the core and makes it a magnet. This pulls the points open and breaks the curcuit. Field collapses, no longer a magnet, back to start. So, we get the buzz. Ok, now to check.the system. With a meter, check the secondary windings. Earth to plug lead. If you show continuity, then thats ok.If the needle shows open circuit, its stuffed! Primary windings should show continuity and almost no resistance. Again, open circuit, stuffed. BUT the main part of these setups was the low voltage points. If they were dirty, corroded, etc. and current could not pass, then the whole sequence could not happen. So much so that replacement points were/are available. Ya gotta come back to simple basics on this. Then it becomes easy to sort the troubles. Ok, outa here. Hope what I said helps.

They were bad about corrosion here, a hand sand blaster with baking soda, used outside, works well for clean up. If it buzzes and doesn't have much fire, try an automotive condensor attached externally across the points, the condensors in the coils usually failed to open. If it works the condensor can be mounted externally or you can take it apart and dig out the large old one and instal a new one. The new capacitors are available at electrical suppliers, I don't remember the values, but there are articles on line that show how to do it and what to use. J.B.

These units are encased in plastic coatings with a loop-looking armature. If you cut the armature so you can poke it through where the buzz points are and add a condenser, they will deliver a nice hot spark. I hated to see a nice looking finger-jointed coil box relegated to the mantle... If you cruise some of the junk yards you can usually spot something which will fit the bill. The newer coils have way better insulation than the old units and hence are much smaller. Hope this helps..

Message-ID: <59401.168.215.206.73.1254771494.squirrel@www.rustyiron.com> Folks, It's that time of year again! Cotton Ginning Days will be Oct 9, 10 and 11 in Dallas, NC. Same place as always. This will be year 22 if I am remembering correctly. The county estimates the spectator attendance at 25,000, so if you like demonstrating your old iron, this is the show for you. As usual the SEL area will be the wood sawing area just below the cotton gin and engine. Saturday evening at 5:30 we serve a free country dinner to all folks displaying. Bring your engines, tractors, antique cars, and swap items to Cotton Ginning Days. The website for more information and the map if you've never been is here. Hope to see you this weekend. Curt Holland Gastonia, NC P.S. Looking for log saw and operators. We had 6 running last year.

At the same time it has migrated from hand built HTML to a content management system called Joomla. About 75% of the content has now migrated across. I'd appreciated feedback on the look and feel of the site and for you all to add your related clubs and societies to the new directory as I'm leaving that migration to last to ensure I have the most up to date information possible. Another request is for you to review the SEL FAQ which has been migrated intact. Many of the answers there are between 3 and 10 years old. Things may have changed and may need to be updated. General site http://www.steamengine.com.au/ Direct to the FAQ http://www.steamengine.com.au/index.php/ic/faq If your questions/comments/feedback are about the site plese send to me directly off list. If you want to discuss something about the FAQ then on list is probably best. On the FAQ, I'm seeking an icon or picture to represent each FAQ item.

The inclined boiler makes the locomotive useless anywhere except on a very steep grade, such as Mt. Washington for which it was designed. I'm not sure I buy into the "green" reason for the switch to diesel. I'm wondering if it is a combination of economics, wildfire risk, and safety. I'll have to admit to a modicum of concern coming back down the mountain as the horrid sounding brakes were applied to supplement the steams engine's reversing efforts that weren't quite doing the job. While that is all part of the thrill of the ride, I couldn't help but think, if anything ever happens to the steamer, there isn't enough brake to make a difference to the inevitability of gravity. Besides, if they were really "green" they would take the ObamaOpt and use wind power to power the train up the mountain :-) There's plenty enough wind on top of that mountain!!! If this is inevitable, I wonder why they don't go electric? Regen on the way back down allows power to be placed back on the grid. The more I think about this, the less sense this switch from steam to diesel makes. Saddened that one of the great destinations of the country for the mechanically inclined is changing.

My understanding is that the brakeman controls the car and maintains a small distance between the coach and the locomotive. The coach's brakes are doing all its work during the descent. The locomotive uses a system whereas the cylinders become air compressors and that resistance is enough to control the speed of the locomotive. If the coach's brakes should fail the locomotive would have the ability to stop the movement. It may not sound as if that were possible but its worked for over a hundred years that way.

The "green thing" and many other similar "causes" will only end when these people are given something else to REALLY worry about - like a 3rd World War. When they have to worry about where their next meal is coming from then they will soon forget the "Green" cause - WTF they'll even eat whale and dolphin meat cooked on power generated by a nuclear power station when that happens.

(There is always the "Delete" key - bottom right on your keyboard.) Seeing as that the topic is steering toward antivirus software maybe some of you could give me a few pointers. The computer that I use to connect to the net with is a 4 year old Acer laptop and only has a "Celeron" processor (1733 Mhz with only 512 Mbytes memory - running Win XP Service Pack 3 with all the updates.) Yes, I do know that it is a "shitty" little computer but for now it has to do. I've always been very aware and "up to date" on viruses (virii ?) and used "Norton Antivirus" for many years but, a few years ago when I was still on dialup, the Norton updates became just too big (more than 10 Mbytes) for a dialup connection and I installed "AVG Free". (I do not use Microsoft's Firewall or Antivirus.) AVG worked very well for me but then they brought out ver.7 (I think) and now with updates I'm on ver. 8.5.420. This damn programme has now spoilt all my "computer fun". It is a total "memory hog". When I start up each morning the darn computer is useless for about 10 minutes while AVG "does it's stuff". (In "Task Manager", "performance" is "red lined" all this time and under "Processes" I can see that it is AVG (and their "add on" - TeaTimer) that is hogging all my resources) This "hogging of resources" is so bad that, if I open "Notepad" (for example) and type a letter it takes about 5 seconds for the "letter" to show on the screen. The next problem is that the "f%#*g" programme decides to run it's daily scan and updates at 5:00pm every day - I change this often but the next automatic update always "resets" it to 5:00 "f%#*g" pm. AVG seems to think that all it's users are imbecilic idiots and, no matter what they want everything is reset to what AVG's "f%#*g" programmers deem best. On this computer that "scan" takes about 2 hours and in that time (usually about time to check if the new "SEL" digest has arrived :-)). the computer is totally useless - AVG is hogging everything. (I do know that I can set "Scan Options" in case you are wondering). Other problems that I experience (on this computer) are: i) When saving a file using the "save as" command the windows "save as - pop up" box takes ages to reach the stage where I can click on a folder or directory - I suspect/assume that this is while "f%#*g" AVG makes sure that I'm not opening a folder that has a virus in it - it seems to scan the whole disk first instead of letting me choose a folder and then only scanning that folder. After all, AVG has (previously) scanned everything on my computer, why should it now waste all this (my) time just to ensure that there is not a virus anywhere. ii) I used to have a problem with it's "f%#*g" email checking as well but managed to disable that some time back. My ISP (as I'm sure many others have) has a pretty good prog to sort out all the "nasty" email. O.K. those are my gripes - now for some answers from you guys. Please note that I'm looking for "constructive" answers from knowledgeable people. If you want to post an answer then please give reasons for your recommendation based on my post above. I'd really like to hear your reasons as to why I should change to "such and such" an Antivirus programme. It has been recommended that I change to "Panda" or "Avast" but nobody has given reasons. Paul mentioned Microsoft and gave good reasons but I'm "Anti-Microsoft" (Hi Rob & Kelley - no I cannot change to Mac at this time :-)) - should I lower my expectations and go for Microsoft and why ? All I want is a programme that does not consider me to be an idiot. I want to be able to tell this programme what I (THE USER) would like it to do - not what the "f%#*g" programmer thinks I need and, if I tell it to do "so and so" I do not want it to "reset" to what the "f%#*g" programmer feels is best for me on every update. I also do not want it to hog all my resources while it is doing it's job. I'm keeping an open mind here and asking for advice from guys who know what "it's all about". FWIW - I have not had a virus on any of my computers for many years - I put that down to "common sense" more than my choice of "Antivirus Software". I've also been "connected" since the days of "Bulletin Boards" - about 1991 - not as long as Paul but certainly not a "newbie" to the Internet. Hey Paul, I used to use "PC Tools" long before "Norton Commander" and Symantec arrived on the scene. My first "computer" was a "Sinclair" - I think it had the magnificent total of 1 Kbyte of memory before they brought out the next version which had (again, I think) the magnificent total of 64 Kbytes of memory. That was a long time ago - now my engines are far more important to me :-) The first virus I got was "Stoned" I'm sure you remember it! At the time I was seriously stressed about it but, by todays standards it was harmless. There were no "Antivirus Programmes" in those days. I often wonder if the "Antivirus" vendors are not the guys who write the viruses in the first place. All for now, thanks to all who have read this far before hitting the "delete" key.

I use their 360 protection on a home computer. They've come a @#$ of a long ways in reducing overhead. Nothing at all like it was a couple of years ago. The charts showing performance hits blow Trend, McAfee and the others out of the water - they now have the lowest performance hit of any of the major vendors. They have completely redesigned the scanning engine. On SEP, you get the deltas of the updates. The issue is that viruses and threats run into the hundreds of thousands now - not like it was a few years ago. There are literally over a thousand new variants/strains and threats found every day now, some morph in hours, some with each new infection so the vendors are having issues keeping up. A co-worker here uses AVG at home but has admitted that he's found he still needs to resort to other things when he's doing high-risk work because, well, it's not kept up like the major players have. (most folks will never be exposed to the sort of risks we are - although those who like to visit certain sorts of sites will be much higher risk than any of us!) He's is very familiar with multiple protections and for heavy work, he still prefers SEP and says it's less overhead than his home AVG. I've not compared, but know that they have put a lot of work into reducing their overhead and it shows here at work. Folks hardly notice the regular scans now. And there are good reasons to do a FULL scan of all files each week. Trust me on that, been doing this very thing since about 1989 - 20 years now. "The rules have changed" as they say, in the world of viruses and other risks. Try dealing with rootkits, rogue browser helpers/phony av apps, etc. You don't even want to consider your papa's antivirus in today's world. Even with the very best of protection, what should be safe web sites can and will infect your computer. You need a GOOD FIREWALL, too - forget that Windows firewall shit, biggest bunch of crap ever. Worthless. Even I can crack through it! For the full protection, browsing protection, firewall, intrusion prevention, etc. - I use the Symnantec product. At work, I can even decide what will run and not run on your computer. Whitelist. If I don't want it to run, you can't run it. If I don't want it in, it won't get in, and I can block your USB devices by brand, model, etc. as well. I've rigged it so autorun.inf file won't function, and you can't run DLL or EXE files from certain areas. I've even built custom IPS signatures that look into packets and block certain content. Love those products! I protect 28 servers and 350 workstations and notebooks. At Principal, I did the same for 1,200 servers and 16,000 computers around the globe. I used SAV CE there.

If you have a protractor scribe the angle you want about where the top of the vise jaws will be when you machine the part. Put the part in the vise and pinch it on the scribe line. Tighten the vise so that you can still move the part with a soft hammer. If you have done this fairly accurately it helps to set one end (doesn't matter which) slightly high so you know which why it will need to move to be on the nut. Now get out your trig tables and look up the tangent of the angle you want to machine. In Eldon's case .1989 for 11 deg 15 minutes. Now put your indicator on the head of the mill. I prefer a drill chuck but any way it is solid will work. Use an indicator that read in .001 increments. Now contact the indicator to the work and adjust it till reads zero. Drop the knee an amount equal to the tangent or .199 (rounded off here) without touching the indicator move 1 inch. If the indicator reads zero you have the angle, if it doesn't tap it slightly to correct the position and repeat the process until it reads zero for both ends. The accuracy can be enhanced by working the baseline over a longer distance. For instance if you use 3 inches the tangent will have to multiplied by 3. If this is done with care you can easily machine an angle to several minutes of arc provided there is an accurate surface to reference to.

What I did was uninstall AVG including going through the registry and removing every reference to it there. (The "Uninstall" left plenty of AVG stuff there as well as "plugins" in my email prog. directory) I decided to go for the Free Avast and installed it. Quite a painless operation. Although many of you recommended other software I decided to go this way for now - if it later proves to be a bad decision I'll look at it again. Well, so far so good, my 'lil ole Laptop is almost acting like a real 'puter again. When I ask it to do something it reacts immediately now. Time will tell if it was the right decision. Also, while it is doing a scan I can carry on working normally without the annoying pauses and delays. Now, if I could just do something about MS Windows .................... :-) Keep the revs up (or down) Jerry Evans Near Johannesburg in Sunny South Africa.

I never had it to reset MY Preferences in any way. My schedules stay where I set them, And Scan options stay as I set them. Even after a Full Number Update IE: 5.xxx - 6.xxx - 7.xxx etc. It actually sounds like your Laptop's HD is getting a bit flakey. 4 years is a long time for a 2.5 Inch drive to last. Does your laptop have 2 drive capability? (Second HD Port) If so. Check arround your local computer shops for a New/Good Used one of ample capacity Backup anything important to you, Or use a HD-Setup tool (Maxblast for Maxtor's) (Data Lifeguard for Western Dig.) etc, Usually manufacturer specific. But Maxblast can be purchased for use with any hd brand. I suggest those, Because they both have a full partition copy utility to backup/replace your current drive. XP Is Terrible about File fragmentation (All Windows vers since ME for that matter) - Solution 1- (Retaining all your data) a) Do the full Drive-2-Drive copy ( Usually takes about 2 minutes/Gig.) on 20 and under about 1 Min/gig over 20. b) Nuke (Recertify) your old drive, And either reverse the copy procedure, Or leave the old drive in as an Archival storage drive. It should last a good long time in that role. My Suspicion is that you are getting actual media damage to frequently re-written areas of the drive. One final note on the above. If at all possible Hook your 2.5" HD up on your Desktop (Via an adapter) to do these tasks. (The reasons are many but primarily Heat problems) - Solution 2- (Losing all your current data) a) Use the system recovery CD's/DVD's that came with the laptop to restore it to factory configuration (Asuming the drive passes the Preliminary tests) b) Re-Install every program you use (Actually USE) and start it off fresh. You May have gotten some other computer advice from me in the past, So you know I know what I'm talking about and there isn't much point re-hashing just to create more distent among the other users here. If you need any further help on this, Feel free to E-Mail me off-list at swork at endacomm.com or Endacomm10 at yahoo.com (In Order of preference) Steve. P.S. I use (and have used) AVG Free for many years now with NONE of the problems you wrote about. I Cannot say the same for Norton's , Avast , Defender , Or Panda. All the aforementioned brands have made countless appearances on my repair benches ! The only other one That seems to cause very little trouble is Trend Micro's AV (NOT the Internet Security suite). Which is the only other AV Tool I recommend to my Customers/Clients. < Looks like I can get long winded as well Huh ??> ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jerry Evans" To: ; Sent: Wednesday, October 07, 2009 5:50 PM Subject: Re: [SEL] Now Antivirus and O.T. > Trimmed < > The computer that I use to connect to the net with is a 4 year old > Acer laptop and only has a "Celeron" processor (1733 Mhz with only 512 > Mbytes memory - running Win XP Service Pack 3 with all the updates.) > Yes, I do know that it is a "shitty" little computer but for now > it has to do. > Trimmed < -------------- next part -------------- No virus found in this outgoing message.

We're really scraping the bottom of the barrel right now to find enough cash to finish the building. I'll be at Coolspring on Thursday selling copies of the Tod Engine book, so please pick up a copy of the book there or order it direct if you won't be in attendance. Contributions to the building project are sorely needed right now. We have absolutely zero overhead, all money that comes in goes directly to buying materials and supplies or for equipment rental. The engine is one of the largest stationary steam engines in the United States, and certainly the largest one that has been moved and reassembled in recent years. There is an easy way to make a contribution online by going to this page: https://www.networkforgood.org/donation/MakeDonation.aspx?ORGID2=311728637 Or you can send a check to the address on that page.

Valve timing is a science - just ask those who have cams custom ground for specific needs for performance, etc. There are grinds for performance in general, for top end performance, and for low-end torque or grunt. There are grinds for more MPG as well. Valve timing will vary from engine to engine, maker to maker. You need to follow the *Manufacturer's recommendations* for the most part, unless you know what you are doing. Otherwise the side effects can be: Lower dynamic compression - or even higher dynamic compression (NOT talking about "static compression) or You can shift the power band up or down depending on which way you shift the valve opening and closing, valve overlap, etc. You can impact idle - make it so it won't idle worth a crap, or have a "rough idle". There's opening angle, closing angle, lobe separation, lift, ramp acceleration, and more...... Do not second guess them unless you know what the heck you are doing. Yeah, this applies to antiques as well as modern Honda engines running at 10,000 RPM. for magnets..... Vibrations do assist in the "lining up" of the poles on the molecular structure while charging. You do need to get as strong a field as possible, a weak charger means the magnets won't reach their full potential no matter how hard you bang on them or how long or many times you charge them. More winds, more power through the windings means more magnetic strength. This translates into better charged magnets. Yes, a weak lame charger can charge a dead magnet so it may work, but it won't be good. Weak magnets mean weak spark. There's a science to this..... and a lot of very good web sites on this issue - some of the best ones are AIRCRAFT related...... (wonder why they are so concerned about good magnet strength?? I don't get that....) Sort of like auto ignition coils - more power through the windings longer means the lines of force are stronger, and when the collapse, you get more output. So you need the strongest magnets you can get - this means you need a strong charger. The younger guys are "shade-treers" and didn't pay attention in their science classes, IMO. > HI, GUYS??

No biggie but it's too much like shouting and hurts our eyes. Anyway, per the valve timing, I assume you are talking about a low speed flywheel engine with atmospheric ("automatic" or "suction") intake valve. If that's the case, the exhaust should open around 40 degrees before bottom dead center and close just a little past top dead center. I find that most engines like to have the exhaust just closed just a few degrees past TDC. A little fiddling with that may optomize performance a little. As far as boiling of a hopper cooled engine is concerned, if it is throttle governed, it will eventually come to a boil even at no load, no matter how the ignition is timed. The heat is dissipated via the boiling process, not by radiation so boiling is the normal running temperature. If the engine is hit and miss and is running right and not pulling a load, it may never reach boiling. As far as magnet charging is concerned, you need a very strong field in order to properly charge any truly magnetic material. That means LOTS of ampere-turns. The charging field needs to be several times stronger than the magnetized strength of the material being charged to overcome hysteresis in the individual poles and turn them far enough in the same direction that they stay there. Having said that, I've just exhausted my knowledge of magnet charging and defer to the superior knowledge of others. :-) Take care - Elden http://www.oldengine.org/members/durand Take care - Elden http://www.oldengine.org/members/durand > -----Original Message----- > From: sel-bounces at lists.stationary-engine.com > [mailto:sel-bounces at lists.stationary-engine.com]On > Behalf Of William > Young > Sent: Monday, October 19, 2009 05:54 AM > To: SEL at lists.stationary-engine.com > Subject: [SEL] TWO THREADS > > > HI, GUYS??

I remember you posting info about a fire. Looks like the JD's took the worst hit. I assume the barn had an upper and lower floor with the JD's being on the upper floor and the engines on the bottom. The engines don't look that bad and I'm surprised the sway back trucks didn't creal over or the wheels warp. If the engines were on the ground floor the bulk of the heat would have went up and they may not have gotten as hot as the balance of stuff in the barn. Just curious, do they know a cause?

I notice one crawler in there, is is a BO Lindemann? Someone will want that one for parts, they are a neat little rig. I have a friend who has one, I look like a bear riding a tricycle when I get on it..... I once got a couple of 1-1/2 hp M's given to me that had been through a fire. The oilers were melted, the EK's were toast (literally) and all of the springs were shot. The solder joints on the fuel tanks were melted apart. I spent a winter on them and a bundle on parts, but I was amazed at how easy they came apart. Every stud in the block came right out but every time you removed a fastener, you got a nasty burnt smell. I have heard horror stories about engines that had been in a fire, and I think it is a real "pig in a poke" when you buy an engine in a fire.

All I have left to work with is some of my Social Security and I was looking at these but I thought his prices were a little high and then I have never worked on a burned engine, I know the bearings would all be melted out of them and I think with my limited ability I better pass.

I had to sell my pride and joy which was my 1905 5-1/2 HP Model C Vertical Stover. I had spent several years restoring it and had it mechanically restored and in primer and then had to sell it, it broke my heart. My good friend, Steve Royster, bought it and has been showing it at some of the engine shows and he sends me pictures of Old Red as I called the engine. The wife and I have been raising our two grandson for the last 10 years with no help from anyone and then I got laid off from my job of 35 years and ended up having to sell all of my engines to support the family. Sort of the same fix most folks are in these days. Old engines are my love and I am trying to find an old fixer upper I can afford just to have something to work on this Winter. It helps keep me from being so depressed. You hang on to that Stover and I would love to see some pictures of your 8 HP Stover.

I was aware of some of the factors you mentioned about?cam design and valve timing, ???Perhaps the following info will be of interest to you.? This moderately old 8hp Kubota engine?has 6 in. bore, 8 in. stroke and flywheels of 2 3/4 in, width, 27 3/4 in. diameter so you can see it is no Pygmy. ? This engine will probably never again be called upon to do an honest day's work.??I?hope to have it start easily and run smoothly.? Valves set properly should help here but cam lobe design is fixed.? I hope to have different mufflers -- one producing a throaty roar, another a muted whisper and a third, the smoke ring blower. ??? Because "Manufacturer's recommendations" are not available,?I made this appeal to the SEL crew.?Thus far I have mated crank shaft gear and cam gear timing marks, which would be in keeping with mfg's design.? Next, using adjustment on exh. push rod, I set?the exh. valve to open about 30 degrees before bdc.? These are "eyeball" degrees, estimated degrees.? I know i could count gear teeth, do some arithmetic and get a closer estimate.? i also know this engine will never be expected to excell or compete in any of the categories you mentioned.?? My last option is ( I think ) to make whatever? adjustment?I can?by playing with intake push rod length.? Can you tell me what??optimum remaining setting?I seek?to achieve?these parameters:? Long engine life;? smooth engine running at lower speeds;? lower operating temperature under "no load" condition? P.S.? I'm willing to start all over again should you come up with something better? -- no cam grinding, please.? Thanks,? Bill ??

Adjusting the lash has a slight effect on the valve timing. That's after all the fuel mixer and ignition timing tweaks are done. Ignition: Timed for just a tad after TDC for idle, changeable to about 20 degrees BTDC for 500 RPM. Ignition device: Home-manufactured solid-state. Intake valve spring strength: Stock spring, tweaked for best operation. Mixer choke: Spring tension adjusted with needle valve for best operation at both low and high speeds.

The sloppy fit due to wear is a common problem with the Wico EK mags. And it definitly will affect performance up to and including no spark at all. The two armature arms must pull off the coils at the same instant with a good SNAP. You should probably be able to true up the shaft and make a custom bushing that is just a slip fit. OTOH, most of the "mag guys" like Mark's Magnetos will do an exchange of your Wico EK for one that is guarenteed to work (new coils & condenser, new busing, all in proper adjustment, etc.). The cost of the new exchange mag isn't that much. If your "repair" doesn't do the job, consider doing the mag exchange.

My plan is to make a new bushing to fit the armature. The locating pin isn't worn appreciably as the diameter measures the same at the top and the bottom where the armature doesn't touch so it should be fine. I would like to know how tight to make the fit of the bushing to the pin. I will keep Mark's Magnetos in mind as it appears I may have more older magnetos to look at. Thanks for your help.

The British Airways crew and the Customs & Immigration guys were superb, couldn't have asked for better treatment. Rest of the trip went well, and no problems going home :-)) Found the data, your exact machine isn't listed, but there's one pretty close: 1BDG-38 - can be: BD-3 (3kW DC 32V or 125V 1500rpm) BD-2A (2.5kW AC 1ph 120V 60Hz 1200rpm) BD-3A (3kW AC 1ph 120V 50Hz 1500rpm) Leaflet for that model range shows a single-cylinder diesel with radiator cooling, same bore and stroke as you quoted, direct-coupled alternator or dynamo. I'll scan the brochure when I get a minute and email it direct to you. I'd suggest that the 'M' in the designation could be 'Marine', possibly a marine auxiliary generator. Looks like a neat little unit.

Not cooked or anything, just swirl the ants around in the water. So, it had to be the secretion of some kind from the ants flavoring the water. Maybe the swirling water scares the s***t out of them!

It's formic acid, Tom. Same stuff that stings when they bite, but diluted. Rats were a welcome change in RVN after six weeks of mutton. I think part of the deal to have the Oz troops there was to buy mutton. We're talking mutton, not lamb. Some of it had to be as old as I was; the chops were huge. It wasn't bad for a while, but after being seared on the barbie, baked, fricasseed, sauteed, fried, boiled, sliced and fried like bacon - any thing else was good. The Montagnards would catch these good-sized rats, gut, stuff with a potato analog tuber, wrap in leaves, and bake in hot rocks. Had worse.

I had an uncle that was a sub sailor in WWII and he hated mutton for the same reason. That's the only meat they would feed those poor guys for a couple of years.
