       Twin Cylinder Oscillating Engine Part 7

       Hi,
       The bits of a model steam engine found in a biscuit tin are now
       a running twin cylinder oscillating engine. The model will run
       quite well, the cylinder with off-set ports performing better
       than expected. The engine will self-start on only a few pounds
       of pressure, it will run quite slowly given its small but heavy
       disc cranks.  It is a very powerful engine at 10 PSI roughly 20
       to 30 PSI if it was steam the engines connecting rod can inflict
       serious damage to fingers, I wonder why I know that?  The latest
       part of my efforts can be seen at:

       Other projects call, so finishing the cosmetics and fittings
       will be put on a back burner for completion at a later date, it
       will also give a bit of thinking time as to what they will
       consist of.  I will probably put together an abridged version of
       the videos for those who have trouble going to sleep. I hope you
       have enjoyed my efforts and muses.
       Take care Tony.
