[modeleng] Re: Square pistons

The late Bob Jorgensen of Memphis made a working model of the Robertson, but 
I didn't know that was the name of it.  I only wondered what sort of an 
idiot would have designed an engine like that and how the pistons were 
sealed.  It is nothing like a Dake which Bob also built as the Dake was flat 
and very compact.  Disregarding that the Robertson must have been a complete 
idiot, the Ascot model is a beautiful work of art and the modeler should be 
proud of what he has made.  Being rather odd myself, I like the design.
