28/3/42 Thanks! To Vern Racek for sending along some further information on the Hercules Gas Engine Company at Evansville, Indiana. By the way, thanks also to those who sent us Greetings of the Season over the recent holidays!

28/3/43 A Restored Saw See Photos 43 A and 43B for a before-and-after restoration. The unit is mounted on an old Buick truck frame, and the engine is a 6 HP Fairbanks Morse 'Z' model. The head was broken and the cylinder was badly pitted. It took a year from start to finish, but it really saws wood now.

'I saw a saw in Arkansas that could out saw any saw you ever saw. If you ever see a saw that can out saw that saw I saw in Arkansas, I would really like to see that saw saw! Tom Beery, 24772 Hwy 108, Mi Wuk Village, CA 95346.

28/3/44 Sta-Rite Engine Q. I'm restoring the 1? HP Sta-Rite engine shown in the photos. However, it's different than the one shown in American Gas Engines. Mine has wick oilier on the mains, oilier behind the water hopper, carburetor, intake on side of head, cam gear inside housing, no gas tank inside the base, base is different, it uses a round pushrod, and has no model number. I need some parts and would like to correspond with anyone having one that would give me the right dimensions. Any help will be appreciated. John M. Preston, 2500 Curtis Rd., Leonard, MI 48367.

28/3/45 MacLeod Engine Q. See the two photos of a 1? HP MacLeod, s/n 3953. The plate lists 'Macleod's Ltd., Winnipeg, Canada' as the vendor. Can anyone advise who made the engine, and what magneto was originally used? Any information will be appreciated. Ted Burkey, 801 Eastridge Drive, Lincoln, NE 68510.

28/3/46 Hallicrafters Generator Q. We obtained a PE-108A Engine-Generator set made by Hallicrafters Co. of Chicago about 1942. Engine is a Wisconsin Model AA, but the engine is not the problem. What we would like to have is the electrical diagram for the generator and electrical part of the PE-108A so that we don't have to go through the trouble of tracing it and drawing our own schematic. Any help will be appreciated. Kenneth L. Roland, 3205 Circle Dr NE, Cedar Rapids, IA 52402.
