Thank you, James..thoroughly enjoyed the Jeynes article which is a
fascinating glimpse into the origins of steamboat propulsion. Jeynes
certainly has (had) a diversified engineering knowledge and I look
forward to future articles of his you will put into PDF. I'm
interested in his belt drive article when it comes up.

Maybe you can place the PDF article you mentioned into our own files
as it relates very much to what we do.

Thanks again for posting and best regards
