[modeleng] Re: Square pistons

Ken,

The square piston engine may be similar in operation to the Dake Square 
Piston engine.  I am working on a steam powered fork lift truck that used a 
Dake engine and since I know your email addy, I can send you a photo of the 
innards of a Dake.  I haven't started to build one yet because I need a few 
more photos of the lift truck and don't want to build an engine unless I can 
use it in the truck.  The steam fork truck that I have photos for came from 
a glass factory, but they were also used in foundries. Look over the photo 
and see if the Robertson looks the same or similar to the Dake.

 Page 28 of "100 Great Models" shows a "Robertson Semi-Rotary Engine" which
 is described in "Modern Steam Engines" by Joshua Rose (page 329-330). Have
 plans for this engine for the modeller been published?
