There is always the odd rust hole  in the bottom of the bucket, and something leaks through.
This is dedicated to Tim

I'm being rude,  Phil what was one of the biggest problems you had to fix while at sea.

That's a piston you're sitting on there? Those photos are rippers, any more details about them?

Thank you Phil.

Bloody hell, them's big 2 strokes.

I can't get my head around the 3 con rods and 2 pistons.

Did the pistons run in the same cylinder and come together to fire?

You were a happy looking chappie Phil, well oiled me thinks.
It's just more time to be flat out!

Ken,   I have made a line sketch of the opposed piston Doxford engines.
Let me know if it makes sense.
