Actually he's been around for some time.  I've stopped him from
joining my groups because I require that anyone joining explain
why they want to join a specific group.  This normally stops him.
He's well known among the List Moderators (the LMs have their
own list to trade this type of information).  Usually harmless, but
certainly distracting.  Simply block him from rejoining, after you
boot him out of the group. TTBOMK, he's not a spam robot, simply
a misdirected soul.

This message is about Human beings, Democracy, UNHCR, Refugees, The Iraqis,
Islam, Kurds, Human rights, Respect, Money, Donations, Angelina Jolie,
Pavarotti, Giorgio Armani, Donors, Peace, History, Campaigns and about you if
you care about these words.

Hi there,

I am SAM, an Iraqi refugee living in Lebanon at the moment; I have spent the
last 10 years of my life as a refugee registered with the UNHCR in Beirut. The
last 4 years, I have spent as an activist for peace and human rights (especially
refugees and asylum seekers) on the Internet; I'm also books author and ebooks
publisher. I have launched many campaigns to improve our situation as refugees
in Lebanon and hopefully bring more understanding to our problems worldwide. I
helped make many changes and improvements at the UNHCR office in Beirut; I used
the Internet as the field for my activities (you can read more about that in my
free ebook 'MY CAMPAIGNS'). All my ebooks are free and could be download from my
sites.

This is my newest campaign, it's about the illegal and humiliating actions of
the UNHCR, who using photos of refugees as banners and human-buttons to collect
money. This is an abuse of the dignity and humanity of the refugees and must
stop immediately and a clear public apology present by The United Nations High
Commissioner for Refugees. My friends, I am talking about the pictures you can
see here:
http://unews.esmartdesign.com/human-buttons.htm

Where you can read the rest of this message as web page.

Also you can read my new campaign 'Urgent, we need smile' here:
http://freeweb.jamieweb.com/lebanon1/smile.html


For more info about UNHCR and life of refugees you can read my free ebooks. I
invite you as fellow humans and members of the world community to support my
campaign by reading my article on my site and see the human-buttons. The
campaign is to support and improve the UNHCR http://www.unhcr.org especially
after the last scandals in the UN and UNHCR, just for example:

The refugees allege that UNHCR staff is selling most of the food items they are
supposed to be supplied.
"They aren't supplying sufficient food to us because they sell most of the food
items," they allege: http://allafrica.com/stories/200503140214.html
  Here is another example: Burmese Refugees Withdraw Protest Against UNHCR 
http://www.mizzima.com/archives/news-in-2005/news-in-april/12-April05-22.htm

"We make demonstration and fast because the UNHCR office in Cairo did nothing
for our problem..." http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/4440730.stm

Together we will build better world.

It's a 1932 Plymouth PB. 3.5/8x4/3/4 in new condition. Mine is 3 3/4 bore. The Plymouth came with full oil and steel backed thin babbet main inserts. It has a "counter weighted" crank. Bolted on hunks of iron from the factory. Other than that it has a Rich Fox head, intake, and ignition. It has run 113.75 mph in my '29 roadster and 135 in the same car when I was running an overhead conversion using a '57 Ford Y block head. It has mechanical fuel injection using Hilborn components.    Rich Fox

Guys,

Is it an axial flow blower on this Latham Engine ?

I think he is right.

Sirs

This is a clip of the only American built engine with variable valve events 
and variable valve timing know to exist in America

mov03111.mpg   Hope I did that right. There is a clip on you tube under 
variable valve timing corvair

There is quite a bit of info about it on the internet under Corliss Orville 
Burandt   Patent  4961406.

The car needs a home or at least could be loaned to you if interested.

I might be in your neighborhood later this week.  Please contact me if you 
would like to talk about this unique piece of American History.

Subject: [AmSpeedForum] Skinner Engine

TBooth@ymmc.yamaha-motor.com sent this message in the early days when we had about 2 members and I thought it was worth re-sending now that the list has grown.  I'm sure he would like to hear anything you guys know about this engine.

Hello All,

Some of you have seen an earlier message, others are seeing this for the first time. I thought everyone would find the info interesting.

Pictures below are of a true one-of-a-kind four cylinder automobile race engine. It is certain to be 1-of-1 based on the wonderfully produced wood masters for sand casting all components that I received with the engine.

Technical features are as follows:

- built by someone named Mr. Skinner in New England area in 1928-1929. yes, it runs
- motor mounts and rear clutch bell housing mounts are common to a Ford Model A
- water cooled cylinder block and head is cast as one unit from grey iron
- upper crankcase, oil pan, front chaincase and manifolds are aluminum sand castings
- supercharger is by Switzer-Cummins of Indianapolis, Indiana
- carburetor is a downdraft Stromberg
- cylinder head is machined to run two spark plugs per cylinder
- camshaft and supercharger are driven by duplex chain from the crankshaft

- there are no exhaust valves. exhaust vents to atmosphere at BDC (bottom dead center) out the right and left sides of the engine. yes, there are eight exhaust pipes

- The intake "camshaft" spins at 1:1 ratio with crankshaft..............It is a two-stroke

- What is not known at this time is how the intake charge is controlled. it is either mechanical valves or a rotary valve system machined into the "camshaft".

Without checking the cam timing my best guess at this time is that the intake opens slightly before BDC. The positive pressure from the supercharger aids in exhausting the cylinder. The exhaust ports close about 0.50" above BDC. The positive pressure from the supercharger fills the cylinder even as the piston is rising. At some point early in the piston upstroke the intake closes and allows compression to occur. The spark fires at the appropriate time and exhaust occurs at BDC. This cycle repeats resulting in the engine being two-stroke.

Also, my best guess is that the crankshaft connecting rod big-end journals are each at 90, 180, 270 and 360 degrees.

Hi Gene,

I noted that you live in New Castle, IN.

My interests lie primarily in vintage gas powered miniature race cars...i.e. "tether cars".  And New Castle had a great tether car track.

Do you have any interest in tether cars?

Thanks...and take care.

Hi John,

I would like you to consider adding my website to your "links" page as well.

My website is designed to serve as a resource for vintage gas powered miniature race car collectors...and, in particular, those individuals who are interested in the smaller "mite cars"  ( i.e. those cars which are powered with .09-, .19- or .29-cid engines.  It can be found at:

                                       www.mitecars.com

Also, if I can be of any assistance in helping you further identify any of the vintage gas powered miniature race cars shown on your website, I would be glad to do so.

Thanks...and take care.
