Your neighbor's wire recorder may have been ancient, but one of the more popular types, the Minofon P55 was very well known in the 1950s and 60s. The model 240 was still in production until around 1962. Popular in business as a dictation machine, the battery powered device was down to 1 1/2...

True, but the hydraulic circuit route is different in park.

EF-101B 'Electric Voodoo' used for electronic jamming in Canada until 1987.

I'm not caught up in it at all, just pointing out some things that interested people might want to know. If you read all the other replies, you'll note that a soft pedal has been mentioned in DOT 5 systems by some users on here. If it works for you, great.

It's estimated that over 10,000 surplus aircraft went to Walnut Ridge to feed the two smelters there, turning out ingots of aluminum from those war planes. Not all the airplanes were stored in a dignified manner.

SAE J1705, Appendix A, A.2.2.8, states “Air Solubility – It has been reported that dimethyl polysiloxane fluid, which is a major part of silicone-based, low water-tolerant type brake fluids can typically contain dissolved air at a level of 16% ±3% by volume at standard temperature and pressure...

I don't know why someone states that it will harm paint, we all know that silicone won't hurt it. Soft pedal stories arise from the fact that DOT 5 is prone to dissolving or entrapping air bubbles in solution far more than the other types, which is why DOT 5 isn't recommended for ABS systems as...

Perhaps if he had developed the concept with a pusher prop instead of tractor arrangement, he could have reduced pedestrian injury, made it quieter inside, and stopped road debris from being fired into the wind screen. 171 km/h (over 105 mph) out of 18 horsepower is pretty efficient though.

I don't think the NHTSA in its Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards is parroting when they advise: "If your vehicle contained a brake fluid other than DOT 5 in its brake system, we recommend that the old fluid be flushed completely out of the brake system, before being replaced with DOT 5...

While I like Ehrenberg, his comments on DOT 5 compatibility don't agree with the rest of the industry. "Mixing DOT 5 with glycol-based brake fluids like DOT 3 or DOT 4 can lead to system malfunctions." A quote from this site: DOT 4 vs DOT 5 Brake Fluid: 10 Major Differences - MrOilGuy One of...

Nice Avro York. Churchill had one as his personal aircraft and flying conference room.

The parts weren't merely re-sourced, some were built to spec for the DC catalog. I remember a magazine article in the 1970s where someone at Direct Connection remarked that they were having a hard time finding a supplier for their 426 Hemi "Battleship" valve springs built to their...

An image from a glass plate negative, from 1899. The white print at the bottom reads: "METEOR" AGROUND ALL HANDS ON THE BOWSPRIT

Great artist, had a lot of influence with other artists too. Here he is back in 1966 with the McCoys. He hadn't changed his name yet, was still known as Rick Zehringer.

Welcome from Canada! Congrats on the cool project, I also have a 1970.
