Richard,
I looked up patent no. 544,210 dated Aug. 6, 1895, and it was issued to a Frederic Cook of Erith, England and assigned to Joseph Day, of Bath, England. The English patent was dated October 15, 1892. Joesph must be an ancestor of Dick Day. |

Keith, My father was very much into geneology and I know of no connectiion with that line of the Day family. I am afraid it is pure coincidence but thanks for the thought.
Going to a CMM meeting next week regarding plans for the spring show so get cracking on your latest jewel. |

It took a few times reading before I realized what they meant by "no hot or cut crank pins", the "thoroughly lubricated" engine prevented burnt rod bearings. I wonder if the crank was drilled to oil or grease the rod bearing? |
