A friend has that engine in Victoria BC. Did you make a copy without ever seeing or measuring the real McCoy? And yes a lesson in pattern making would be wecome! The burden of knowledge should never be too great for anyone to bear!! Den

I replied by private messsage to Den. In summary, the MIT Museum in Boston hold the Herreshoff works archive, and provided a partial set of drawings for this launch engine, and a basic plan for a boat that used it. John

John,
Those are great to see! Steam porn if you will. I would love to see more!
Do you have a full set of drawings for the engine and pumps?
