Description: Here on CD-ROM in pdf format larger than the original format is a 1951 magazine article on how to build a 4 cylinder 4 cycle over head valve water cooled gasoline engine in miniature. This engine will be about 7" long and 5" high when completed. Elmer Wall is considered to be the father of model engineering in the United States and was certainly the most prolific. This engine and it's sister flat head engine are the two best and most profound examples of Mr. Wall's designs from the late 1930's. This construction article was written by Joel Long AFTER Mr. Wall's death in 1947. His family continued the business of producing castings and parts for the engines for several more years. There have been many of these engines built by amateur machinists and skilled professionals alike. Many people even make their own patterns and castings. The plans are precise and easy to follow, the designs are timeless. The article includes 16 pages of easy to follow instructions and good clear drawings. This article was originally published in 1951 in what would be considered a pulp paper magazine. It was not much better than common newsprint. The original copies and all that we have found to date are heavily Foxed or browned and the paper is usually brittle and breaks or disintegrates with handling. We have scanned and color corrected the originals and increased the format size to 8 1/2 x 11 from the original small magazine size to make the prints easier to use. You may view, print, edit or even work these electronic images over to suit yourself, it is nice to be able to crop a drawing and print it full size when you are working with the drawings in your shop. SHIPPING Media US mail. Mailed in stiff envelope to prevent breakage or damage.
