Holy Cow---I'm Published
Sorry Guys---Not a hot Rod publication, but there is a kind of "technological overlap". I just received notification that "Home Shop Machinist" has published the article I submitted on building a "Beam Type Steam Engine". George Bulliss had contacted me last year about doing an article after he seen it on his website when I built it. The article is very well covered, complete with step by step "In process" pictures of the build, my technical drawings, and my comentary on building it. Six of this issue (Sept./Oct. 2009) showed up in my mailbox today. I am very pleased to now join the ranks of "published authors".---Brian

Very Nice....
I remember how cool it was when I got paid for designing a piece of safety equipment that was then patented. I felt very "Published".Scott

Congratulations Brian! Always nice to get some ink. Now that you're famous are you going into hiding?

Don---Its plain that you have missed some of my posts. How did the side windows work?? They worked wonderfull.----BUT---The wedge shape of the cab, being narrow in front and wider at the rear seemed to create some type of airfoil effect with the sidewindows in place, and created a low pressure area inside the cab. This in turn sucked rainwater in through the stitching in the canvas top. No water came in through the sidewindows, but due to the low pressure area, and the fact that the top seam runs right across the top of my head, it was raining as hard inside the car as it was outside.--It was a horrible rainy trip (3500 miles) and for most of that trip I wore a plastic gargage bag rolled up and stuffed under my sodden hat, with a series of big white towels, stolen from various hotels along the way rolled up and tucked around the neck of my leather jacket to keep the rain from dripping down the back of my neck!!!

For years there have been suspicions that you Canadians come here and steal all of our towels............now we know it's true!
Good for you on being a recognized authority and getting published.
