Cockney, I think your love for those Routemasters are having an effect on me.....I'm starting to become fascinated in Trolly cars.

I'll show you my buses, if you show me your trollies.

:D:D I think I'm going to start drawing them and stuff. I also want to collect them!

I've been in a trolly once before. It was very fun! But the lines are long so I can't go on them now.

I love the trolly on Mister Rogers, which reminds me, he has a sweater like the one my cats like to sleep on. My cats are seriously so cute! This morning when I woke up Rumpamuffin was burying his little head into my face and saying purr. It was very sweet.

*rambles incessantly about every cute thing my cats have done since Monday, then randomly brings up Mister Rogers again before falling into complete awkward silence*

I looked for the X250, but couldn't find it on Google.

I would agree with you, but I am incapable of understanding feeling. What is this loneliness you speak of?

yeah, yeah mister rogers...i don't like...*shakes head back and forth quickly* real name fred rogers born in 1928 died 2003 stomach cancer....he was was without a doubt the greatest image of *mumbles*

Hey! Hey! Hey! Who else here watches Road Rovers? I watch it because i'm obsessed with it. All the Road Rovers are great but my favorites are Exile and Colleen. I also love playing FF7. All my characters are eligible for their final limit breaks and guess what? Aeris, Red XIII, Yuffie and Cait Sith already know theirs from Disc 1! Now isn't that something? I think Tifa will be next to get her final limit break but Barret may become before her depending on which is available first.........

AHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Darn, I saw that one too, my mind is like a dark well, drop something in there, you might see it again, you might not. Although many assume the AK-47 is a copy of the german StG 44 its action has a great deal more in common with the American M1 'Garand' the M1 was designed by John C. Garand, it is a semi-automatic rifle in .30-06 Springfield fed by 8 round clips. Clips are not magazines and the two terms are not interchangeable, a clip is a device for holding rounds together and is an integral part of the action af the firearm if a clip is not inserted the weapon cannot fire, a magazine which is commonly called a clip, but which is properly called a 'removable box magazine' is a device which is removable from the weapon and contains the rounds to be fed into the weapon by action of a spring. In addition to box magazines there are also drums, which many associate with the Thompson M1928 submachine gun, tube magazines which can be found under 99% of pump action shotguns, and far more rarely, high capacity helical magazines. There are also internal box magazines, which are not removable. These are often fed by 'chargers', or 'stripper clips', long strips of metal which hold cartriges together. There are also 'moon clips' which are used in revolvers which chamber types of ammunition more commonly used in automatic pistols, such as: 10MM Auto, .45 ACP, or 9MM Parabellum. Moon clips hold unrimmed rounds and keep them from sliping too deeply into the chamber. They come in 'full moons' which hold six rounds, 'half moons' which hold three, and 'third moons' holding two.

What was this thread about again?

To doubleFeed:

I was at the relevant museum when i spotted a strange radial AC engine. It was apparently a two stroke four cylinder, and liquid cooled. But then I saw that it was a pre WW II experimental, only 3 built, from GM. Instantly I knew! This is actually a Kettering (swoon, one of my greatest heroes) uniflow two stroke of eight cylinders. Each barrel has two cylinders with a piston each - running in phase - and each paired barrel (note: if the engine is mounted in the AC the cylinder pairs are one directly behind the other, for an "X" pattern) with common combustion chamber per pair.

The back of each pair is intake only and with typical intake ports. there are no transfer. Like all Kettering's production two strokes this is an engine without crankcase compression and so with a supercharger without which the engine cannot be started. The front of each pair then has the exhaust ports.

The engine was smooth, and provided more power per pound than the usual engines of its day, and with very food fuel consumption. It flew in a large non retractable but cantilever winged Cessna cabin class entitled the "GM Special. But then WW II intervened, and we came out with turbines.

Dude! You are awesome!

now i will stare at the screen a while like a catatonic aspie in a trance

Can you provide me a link? I've been looking, but I haven't found what you've described above.
I failed up my first practical yesterday, which means I got involuntarily disenrolled from the class. I will be back at the end of next month when the class starts again. The R4360 will have to wait.
I will be reading every paragraph of every book I have between now and then, though.

I'm sorry, but I have surfed hours and have found naught on this engine. I recogniozed it because I had run into Kettering's engine designs in a fascinating biography I read of him some years ago. So when I saw "GM" in reference to the engine: I knew how it worked. I asked about the thing at the museum front desk, I knew much more than they did.

Lost to history.

bit I reached out and touched it, a real specamin (sic) of my hero Kettering's mind. I went all swoony and giggly. Art (except music) goes right past me, but things like this. . .But then, engineering is sculpture that functions!

What museum were you at?

"Uh Oh, Uh Oh, Uh Oh, Uh Oh."

(Rainman, the stereotypical view on autism which somehow is a generalisation with Aspergers as well.)

Where did you find this out or how did you find this out?
