Reflections

Missing Letters A couple of readers have written in recently noting that their letters have not so far been published. We never, never intend to slight anyone. Occasionally we will combine comments, especially when several people pose virtually the same question or offer basically identical responses to a question. Other than that, we try to include all of your mail. Then there's always human error-this column for instance required a long day's work, with letters sorted out in little stacks all over our office. It's always possible to miss something, and we dread hearing that someone has been left out. That is never the intention of the Reflector nor of GEM.

TIP OF THE MONTH Looking for a way to clean your hands after working with old iron? Here's an old-fashioned way: Use ordinary lard to clean up, and after using it, plain old soap and water will eliminate the lard. If an abrasive is desired, use a little corn meal with the lard. For a portable hand cleaner container, use a good sized grease cup and squirt some cleaner (or lard) onto your hands.

The purpose of the Reflections column is to provide a forum for the exchange of all useful information among subscribers to GEM. Inquiries or responses should be addressed to; REFLECTIONS, Gas Engine Magazine, P.O. Box 328, Lancaster, PA 17603.
