The list has spoken, and it was a concensus that listers didn't mind (some)
history talk integreated with the incredibly interesting talk about things
like, the correct spark plug gap on a 1916 St. Chamond 90 hp engine. Whilst
such facts are indeed facinating, it's also nice know that a Chamond track
layer was used in an assault at Cambrai until it crapped out because some
sodder didn't gap the plugs right and so it never fired a single shot.
Re: Stu's message noted below, here's an old vets most sincere salute to you
and yours (includes all of you allied list members) for your service (snaps
a slightly arthritic salute). Now lets all play nice!
