Near the commer store…

Don’t know how about a full stop.

a colon could be a problem

@algernon: Well I’m all for happyness around the colon!

No, YOU clean up that happiness!

It’s just a phrase I’m going through.

Commer was a make of vans and trucks in the 1960s. Happyness around those may have involved illegal substances.

@DnT 0459. Made by the Rootes Group. Their llight trucks used the saame engine as the Huber Hawk, and Super Snipe. Their heavy trucks used a unique diesel.

It was a horizontally opposed, wet-sump supercharged, two-stroke diesel engine.

At least it was’t happiness around the coroner.

Did they ever shoot a porno in the back of one of those vans?

@Marum 1007: Interesting. Not difficult to see how that works, except for one thing: Where TF did they put the output shaft?

Oh, wait- I’m still half asleep. Like a normal crankshaft, I suppose.

Yup, It uses bellcranks from the connecting rod to the crankshaft I think they called them “crankpins” or something. The idea is, that there is almost no side thrust on the pistons. Thus piston and cylinder wear is minimised. The opposed piston setup, makes the motor very compact and reduces parts. No cylinder heads valves etc. Using modern technology they can be made very light and very efficient. (Think 55 mpg +)(50% efficiency Vs 30%) The other way is to have two crankshafts. Then you can have a step- up gearing or a reduction gearing to the final drive. (Flywheel/propeller).… Read more »
