Nuenen Show

Gentlemen,

I would first like to say thanks to Peter Forbes and his Family for inviting me along on the trip, Nuenen is one of those places that you don't know where to look first as there was so much to see. As already stated an excellent rally not to be missed. When I have sorted them out I have 278 pictures to show.

One run through on slide show hardly does justice but - wow!

I can see my self spending quite a while digesting that lot when I have more time.

NHH

Better still, go there, it's well worth the trip.

My selection of pics is at:

My 'ones to take home' were the huge 12hp vertical Japy and the wonderful cross-head Bolnes semi diesel.

Regards, Dan

You survived the 'ordeal by boat' then.

Another nice set of pics. With you on the Bolnes, fit in well at IF wouldn't it! Why the fascination with detail pics of the Pinkney - have you got one?

NHH

I'd have to get a passport first!

NHH

Hang on isn't there a Pinkney / Tangye connection?

NHH

Hi Nick, Water was millpond calm there and back so I was fine on the boat :-)

Detail pics of the Pinkney are because I have exactly the same engine that is missing a cylinder head - easy enough to fabricate to my own design, but with details from another even better! There is a very close Pinkney/Tangye connection - Pinkney was Tangye's Head Engine Designer, and their engines used the Pinkney Patent Governor. The small Pinkneys were reputedly built by Geo. Waller at Stroud, but the similarity to the Tangye design is so close I regard them as baby Tangyes.

Regards Dan

Nick,

No excuse, you have now a sleep>> >>

Ah, and I do remember you mentioning it now - proposed starting point for the new head being the valve chest portion of an sv cylinder barrel. Makes sense now I've seen the layout of the Pinkney head!

NHH

We've got a family tent that you're welcome to borrow, it is fine for us two, but too low for us old 'uns to stand up in.

It's the one we bought for the last Spanish trip, haven't used it since.

Gentlemen,s

It has taken nearly a week to po>> >>

Also, there was an air-cooled Wolseley in amongst the engines.

I did notice the number of Wolseley - but my cleverness stopped there! I failed to spot the gas conversions, the unusual spec number or indeed, the rare air cooled version ;o))
