speaking of old technology we're reteaching ourselves, and the variable benefits of a distractable mind, here's some really interesting machine pRon of old ship engine building tech.
http://www.shipsnostalgia.com/guides/William_Doxford_and_Sons notice the size of the crank webs they're cutting. don't drop that crank on your foot! i didn't know oxy acetlyne could cut through a foot thick. btw, how do you compress the rings when installing the pistons? or more simply, what do you use for a starter motor on an engine the size of a large building? a 12v92 pony motor could even turn over the valve train. must be a compressed air tank the size of a small house, and hope it starts on the first crank. j > > On Tue, Dec 21, 2010 at 3:30 PM, william <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> I agree.
