I’m happy to say we have a lot of color in this issue, and
we hope you enjoy seeing these fine restoration efforts in full
color when we can do it! Two of the engines you’ll see in color
are not so common for our pagesa Watkins marine and a Rumsey. We
welcome stories on engines that are not so familiar to our readers,
so those of you who own unusual engines, don’t be shylet us
know about them!
Also on the color subject, Mr. Wendel gives a short paint color
list near the end of his column, which he’ll be adding to in
future issues. We expect this will be well appreciated, and again
urge that color information be shared.
There’s nothing new to report on the liability issue I spoke
of last month, but hopefully we will have more information for you
in the future.
Our apologies to Cecil Heyn, author of our cover story on page
17 of the June issue. We had transcribed the story from a tape, and
made some errors in the process. The corrections in paragraph 1
are: ‘lopped’ should be ‘lapped’; ‘expense’
should be ‘expansion’; ‘PV’ should be ‘PD’;
‘etched’ should be ‘inch’. The first sentence of
the paragraph 2 should read: ‘There are two helica gears2 of
nylon and 2 brass.’
And now that show season is in full swing, remember to get some
good pictures of your events and send us the reports!
