[modeleng] Re: Steam Engine Valve Events

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.
