We are not far off. A very nice man has made the patterns which I hope to pick up on Saturday : Then we just need to find a new foundry (after I have done the pattern for something else ). Currently the run looks to be 5 engine sets
DonYou cannot open the PDFs because a. You have a Mac and b. They are 3d ones You can get a app to do it on the iPad and Adobe reader will do it if you have a OS X machine ( only install the Adobe stuff if you want it spread about your systemI do dev work for apple OS X and I have tried yo get them to extend the preview util to open them Note your iPad uses iBooks to open the PDFs filesStuart
Ok lets be honest this is not a small engine You need a lathe that can throw a 12" flywheel.Before I do all this I have to design and make the pattern for my Ploughing engine cylinder, which means working in the brown stuff and I have been putting it off Jo

An old friend of mine, John Day, who sadly is no longer with us , had a friend who had one of these Otto Langen engines: John diligently drew it up and made a model of this own, which had a lovely motion but at the time I was not interested in building one as it runs on Actelene... Time has moved on and I have a growing desire but sadly John is no longer around so I am unable to sweet talk him out of his drawings I understand that over the years two other models of this type of engine have been made one a 1/8th scale and a 1/6th scale (ignoring the 3/4 scale that is in a museum). I understand that the designer of one of these models (Johnnie Lenaz) has now gone the way of my good friend John.. One of my club members built one of these engines but has subsequently lost the drawings So the question is does anyone know where I could acquire a set of drawings for one of these models. Jo
Was John from the Guildford area by any chance? Did he also make a Dynamo?
