Thanks Mike:

Don't sweat a patent number though. The reason I was asking was so I could
look at the drawings and maybe winkle out how the valving worked but the
Massey patent drawings have done very well in providing a simple homemakable
(I love english, you can make up words as needed. <grin>) valving scheme.

Still, if you run across a number it would certainly be interesting for me
and probably useful for you to have a looksee at the drawings.

Good to see you're able to start working on the A&O. I love it when last
year's projects start emerging from the snow so you can get going on them
again. Uh . . . ER . . . Eh HEM . . . okay, so I wish some of my projects
would disappear under something more permanent lika a glacier but generally
I like having the "Sorry darlin I can't clean the barn, etc. I have to
finish this project" excuse.

<grin>
