I went to this historic old plantation/farm in middle Georgia yesterday, the Jarrell Plantation in Juliette, Georgia... and they had the front half of a 1927 hupmobile there. Apparently at one time it was rigged up to power some of the machinery in the shed. The relevant 1927 hupmobile pics : http://picasaweb.google.com/Woogeroo/JarrellPlantationStatePark/photo#5183006746011403234 http://picasaweb.google.com/Woogeroo/JarrellPlantationStatePark/photo#5183006754601337842 -- http://picasaweb.google.com/Woogeroo/JarrellPlantationStatePark/photo#5183006780371141634 <span style="font-weight: bold">an interesting note, is the steering shaft is still there, it is attached to a rod which is connected to a metal plate around the distributor. I am guessing this is for adjusting the timing for some purpose</span> -- http://picasaweb.google.com/Woogeroo/JarrellPlantationStatePark/photo#5183006788961076242 http://picasaweb.google.com/Woogeroo/JarrellPlantationStatePark/photo#5183006810435912754 anyway, I thought it was something a little different. I was curious about the steering shaft connected to that plate around the distributor. I thought I'd ask you guys and gals what you think it is for.
