IF article in Old Glory

Well isn't that just flipping typical!

I haven't seen the article, as my OG subscription has just lapsed, because I'm bored to death with cover to cover traction engines.

Now I'll have to go and buy a copy, having forsworn it. Sorry to spoil your bath, Martin. ;-).

I just happened to see the latest OG in W.H Smith. I had a brief thumb through, though for the same reasons as Arthur, I rarely buy it :-) Excellent coverage of IF, but I did notice that a 8 hp Petter S type had magically been transmogrified into a McLaren, or some such unlikely beast......

I generally have a browse in Smiths after work on a Friday - looks like I might actually buy something for once! Did the same with 'Vintage Spirit' (another primarily hot fog publication) some while ago.

Is the picture "Built in Wales, a working example of an Allen twin-cylinder engine" correct? I can only see one cylinder.

Looks a lot like a single cylinder Powell to me. Nice to know that SEM is not the onlyh mag which suffers from wayward picture captions!

Well was it anyone?

Spot on Nick, it is most definitely a Powell, either 5 or 6hp. I can't remember which, and it is totally lacking in a second cylinder.

There was a little confusion with the photo captions in the article, other than that it was a pretty good read.

Cheers Arthur! Shades of Monty Python - "How to recognise engines from quite a long way away. Number one; The Powell, The Powell".

BTW Heavy weekend? You seem to have a shaky clicking finger ;-)

I plead Outlook Express M'Lud. Occasionally it does this and I've no idea why. Apologies in advance if it does it again.:-)
