Wow- can't remember the last time I saw a vernier caliper being used (not dial- or digital- but an actual vernier) by a machinist. I certainly haven't used mine since at least forty years ago!

OK, I'm gonna sell tickets from now on. I thought the vernier thing was pretty slick, now we have new technology? |

As an ex-machinist, that was fun to watch. I didn't see any spark plugs, it must run on diesel?
The last time I used a vernier caliper was to measure the thickness of my bamboo slide rule.

I must be too comfotable in my old ways, I use my verniers all the time (bought em new in 1963 when I started my apprenticeship). Learning to read a vernier scale was a rite of passage for an apprentice tool and die maker. I don't own any digital measuring tools but I do have digital readouts on my milling machine (I hate counting turns).

Copressed air And the camshafts appear to be driven at the same speed as the crank. So, does that make it a two stroke with valves? |

Yea, it looks to run on compressed air, just like a percentage of the population in Canberra.

It's good to see Creel's motors recycled.
