8 forum posts	In the article reprinted in The Best of ME vol. 1, I believe the lower drawing on page 40 is incorrectly captioned, it is the inlet valve housing. Details of the carburettor and ignition system are treated as peripheral, but the engine won't run without them. Are most stationary engines whether steam or i/c regarded as static ornaments? In both this and the Centaur design the flywheel is secured by a tapered split collet. Why not just turn a taper on the crankshaft?

8 forum posts	Hadn't considered the axial movement possible with taper cotters. I can see it would be useful on line shafting, but am not convinced of its benefits on an engine. I found the carb drawings in my local library, that wasn't the question. I was surprised it was regarded as peripheral, both in the original article and the reprint.
