Interesting dimensions - the paper I mean - must be metric paper type. under 17 but over 11. The paper size is called A3. It is not 'metric' but 'ISO 216' or 'A series' and is used in most of the world. Each size is exactly double the size below. Thus A3 drawing paper is exactly double the size of A4 office paper. A1 flip chart paper is exactly 4 times the size of A3. More info at: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/iso-paper.html |

Duke of Edinburgh's Award anyone? Mike in BC Oddly enough, I have access to the drawings of a much smaller engine (English Electric 12x70litre cylinders 500rpm 5000hp) and one of the things I want to do before I die is to make a 3/4" to the foot model of it.

Careful. At the Ships of the Sea Museum in Savannah there is an exquisite 12:1 model of a Liberty ship engine. When I saw that many years ago I got the urge to build one. Now after buying $30,000 worth of tools, building 8 Stuart Turner engines and most of a 45' boat I STILL have not started that Liberty ship engine. :-) Does your wife have any sisters (: |

ISO is metric series for the world. down on the page it talks about
not only the international flavor, but for years and years we have had problems with getting A4 documents from Europe and Asia. I mean like nearly 20 years. Thanks for the www page - that helps explain some of the numbers and letters.
