    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.

    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.
    In the meantime Google is your friend.
    Cheers, Billy.

    OK.What engine is this.

    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    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.


    Cylinder head for scale


    If you look closely you can see where she touched the piston.
