WOW!

Wes,

Thanks for posting these pictures!

The Bristol Mercury engine is being built by Ian Wynd, member of the
Hamilton Model Engineers Club in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. *Ian is
indeed an outstanding model builder with infinite patience and
attention to detail. *His workmanship is truly outstanding.

The International Harvester "MOGUL" tractor was built by John Parsons,
member of the Golden Triangle Model Engineers Club of Woodstock,
Ontario, Canada. *John is also a model builder par excellence.

I am a member of both clubs and know these gentlemen personally; *both
are marvelous in inspiration, workmanship, and patience in explaining
"how-to" to all the questions voiced at club meetings. *They are true
gentlemen in the art of engineering model building.

And *Mark Toth and Reg Miller (along with Laura too) are also in that
same gang of terrific model engineers. *Mark and Reg did a fantastic
job of preparing and presenting the "EDM -- Still Magic!!" seminar at
the NAMES 2009 show. *I'm just sorry that there time-slot put up on
Sunday morning and against some other very popular competition, so in
my mind not enough folks at NAMES saw what they have done. *

*I'd very much like them to "take the show on the road" and let as
many people as possible see what they presented, at least here in
southern Ontario . *

Work on them a bit about that for me Wolfgng. *PLEASE!!! *At a
MINIMUM, they should present it at a Golden Triangle meet or meeting,
and one evening at one of the St.Thomas get-togethers at Reg's house.
If you didn't see it, you'd like it I'm sure. *If you did, spread the
word!!

Brian,

Why don't you attend a meeting or two of the Golden Triangle Club?
I'll speak to Reg and Mark at our May meeting, which is held in
Woodstock, 4th Sunday of the month, at Ted McJannett's place.

I'm treasurer of that august body and can probably twist an arm or two
to have a command performance put on. Reg is secretary and takes notes
for the newsletter.

The EDM Reg and Mark talked about, was it the machine designed by
Robert Langlois? If it was indeed about this design, I was one of
the initial group of people that built one in the mid-1990's, as
described in HSM by Robert.

I'll talk to Reg / Mark.

Wolfgang
