Scrappile Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 What do you call those old engines in Australia? I think they are referred to as "Hit and Miss" engines in my part of the world. I love to watch and listen to them. Pretty neat. John B 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are referred to as "Hit and Miss" engines in my part of the world. I love to watch and listen to them. Pretty neat. We also call them hit and miss. They are amazing old pieces of equipment. can run for hours on the smell of an oily rag. When I was a young bloke we had a slightly more modern engine driving the milking machine and generator for power for the house.

Rockytime Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 Love the hit'n miss. I belong to hobby machinist's club. I have not made a hit'n miss engine but have made engines I run with compressed air. Beautiful sign you have made. John B 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was making the pattern up, the War Office had a look over my shoulder at the computer and said "You can't have that on a sign" Even though I protested that it would be hung in a blokes shed, she won. wombatie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
