We were still using these in the ADF until the early 90s. They were a mechanical marvel with hundreds of individual components working at the lightening speed of 100 wpm of Baudot 5 code transmitted over HF or telecom landline when they atmosphere wasn't happy.

The one I'm referring to is Good Morning Vietnam. Though they have been in quite a few others.

They were interesting to work on but as stated I don't wish to do it again.

No need for morals here. Not many of us are going to know much about what gets posted here I reckon. Well, except for JDNSW, when he discovers it that is.

Junkers Jumo?

Napier Deltic engine.
Weird!

On a similar but related note, here is an exhaust valve out of a 4500hp loco engine (can't remember the class of engine though, so not part of the game).
Nissan VG30DETT exhaust valve for scale.
