Awesome. I love the “24V DOHC” badge - my 2005 Taurus has the same badge (even though it’s a totally different engine)

The Elmore! Three-cylinder, two-stroke engine! A radiator shell that shamelessly ripped off Packard!

1909 Elmore advertisement asserting that “the four-cycle motor is basically incorrect”

A 1910 Elmore with the classic Packard “ox yoke” radiator shape

Some engines (usually sports cars) are designed to run on it, in which case you should. For normal cars it’s a waste of money. The difference is the octane rating (higher octane means it’s harder to ignite so it doesn’t fire prematurely)

And once you’ve fed a can of worms to one court it’s pretty hard to feed the same can to a different court

Many Cape Verdean whalers joined New England-based whale ships and established a large Cape Verdean community in southeastern New England

If you’ve driven a model T (I think you have?) I’d say that’s worse. Plus it had *cotton* brake bands in the transmission from the factory (and just metal-on-metal for the parking brakes)

HorselessAge @horselessage.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

but probably the model T which has only has a single brake drum, inside the transmission, so if anything downstream fails you’ve got nothing but the dinky parking brakes. As I almost learned the hard way when my diff ring gear shattered going down a mountain (fortunately the pieces jammed)

Isn’t that the throttle? I don’t see that it has more than one speed?

People will look at an 1899 electric bicycle and be like “ooh it’s heavy” “ooh it’s bulky” “ooh you’re riding around with four unsealed containers of sulfuric acid between your legs” and frankly this is why we are in a civilizational decline

Looking forward to this afternoon's meeting, with colleagues at the Railway Work, Life & Death project's partner institution, the @mrcwarwick.bsky.social. We're planning a project exhibition later this year, drawing on records of the ASRS/NUR Union (now @rmtunion.bsky.social) - watch this space!
