Austin and Bedford also used them at various times, but the volume of air was
probably higher so not so much affect on the carburetion if they blocked up.

Interesting pics, Peter. I discover that the nicely trolley mounted, flat 
belt pulley equipped "1930's" 110 Volt dynamo with control box that I bought 
a while ago to load the Crossley 1075 is exactly the same as the one on your 
PU8, dials, fuses, knife switch 'n all. :o))

I too would be interested in the SEM issue number.

My box only had 22 mails in it this morning, & was cleared late Friday 
evening. Should be OK.

regards,

Kim Siddorn

Hi Kim:

Goes to show, the genny bit was probably more viable than the PU8.

April 1984 was the issue, Martin P kindly advised me, quite an interesting
article, note that the picture of the engine with the compressor shows the
earlier engine with the inlet pipes coming out of the crankcase.

I added two more pictures yesterday, one of the magneto and one of the carb, and
what looks like a breather pipe to the crankcase.

The email bounced, no detailed reason, not a problem.

Hi Paul:

Do you know the serial number?

Is it just an engine on the floor or in a frame, whatever?
