Alan et al, A lot of American steam rollers had the twin cylinder side mounted engines, but no one ever thought of covering them up that way. We just left them out in the weather, whatever it might be. Many thanks for posting the photos that were made in spite of the rain. If you were the kind and considerate former rulers of America that you claim to be, you would send us people in the hot and very dry Southland some of that nice rain!!!
