  1. The other day I asked a question about a model 106 Gray&Davis carbide headlamp and I believe I saw here or on the internet a picture of an old advertisement for a brass carbide headlamp mounted on the front of a steam traction engine with a Pres-o-Light tank mounted on the barrel of the boiler. I want to show my steam friends and can't find it. Any Help??? Thanks

  2. Gonna toss this out into the fray,,,  Way back during Millwright schooling,I was told  the normal operating range on gauges should point up so-as to see from a distance and middle of mechanical gauge's range gives the most accurate reading. So what spins at 30 ???? paper making machinery turns slow,,,,, you say the gauge face-plate  has a covered up ratio speed which add to the mystery,,,, A use where rpm's would be unknown to operator but number 30 would???

  3. I've been watching Foyle's War and have noticed something about English cars of the pre-WW2 I remember seeing in the All Creatures Great and Small series years ago and then had no-one to ask but Thanks to the Web I can. I noticed the enclosed cars of that era have an upper strip of glass (vent?) that overlaps the window when rolled up. How bad does that leak air/water and do they rattle and break easy? Just wondering Foyle drives a Wolseley ?

  4. Found this postcard lately of a car flopped on her side. I bet like the pipe smoking guy dressed mostly in black with the watch fob was the driver . Looks half in the bag to me. A-lot going on in the picture. Plate is a Wisconsin 1914 49098 Don't ya just wanna keep driving down the road to see whats over the next hill?
