In article , Ted Edwards says...

Actually, I new Dr. Gunn. He was a prof in the Solid State Physics
group at University of British Columbia. It was told around the Physics
department that on a trip to San Fransisco in his Jag, a piston
colapsed. He pulled over to the side of the road, got out the tool kit
and removed the piston and rod from that cylinder. He then carried on
on seven to 'Frisco where he could get a replacement piston.

Uh, Ted. How did he get the oil pressure to stay up without a
rod in place (to stop the gaping oil holes in the crank)?

That sounds like an old story, back when you could see the engine
as a separate entity from the underbonnet.


Ian Gunn worked at IBM research for some time.
Apparently he had quite an attraction to earth
moving equipment (backhoes) as well.

Who doesn't? arr arr arr
