Hi JohnP,
Thanks for your reply to my query.
I'm glad that it isn't just me that cannot get the pages of the
on-line encyclopedia to work properly. If they have just scanned the
pages, there ought to be a page with all the diagrams on it, but I
cannot see any reference to it. I like the reference to Eric Morecombe
- that was the sketch with "Andrew Preview" in it, wasn't it?
The book that you mention sounds interesting, but how can someone
write a complete book on valve gears and not talk at length on the
diagrams which analyse them?
The hunt goes on.
Cheers,
Roger Mason, in St. Agnes.
