Well okay now .... I'm back again for a bit. Been out in the shop doing some serious loading for the matches I have both days this weekend. Still have some to do, but I'm mostly ready now, and will get back to finishing it all up shortly.

But first I want to leave you with my next offering here on my Table of Rare Pairs. Another pair of Stirling Cycle engines from a really obscure Canadian maker. These two engines seem to be all they ever offered, and seemingly not for very long, back in the mid-1970's, and while sort of clunky and chunky, they do have a certain "charm" to go along with their rarity.

Here then are the Ericsson vertical and a hefty horizontal with what has to be one of the most bizarre linkages that I've ever seen ........ from the ECO Motor company in Guelph, Ontario, Canada:

"Information is not knowledge, Knowledge is not wisdom, Wisdom is not truth, Truth is not beauty, Beauty is not love, Love is not music: Music is THE BEST...   
Wisdom is the domain of the Wis (which is extinct). Beauty is a French phonetic corruption of a short cloth neck ornament currently in resurgence..."
