    Seriously, though, FlatHeadGuy & SouthPaw, you are absolutely correct. Lots of us get too frisky at times and shoot off comments without thinking enough.

    Yes, it's a freewheeling thread with lots of humor. I don't want that to change, 'cause the culture and decades we cover are pretty broad (and that covers many decades and changes in the culture, worldwide), but if we make a callous comment now and then, usually there's an honest apology. But a lot of stuff shown in the pix is pretty hilarious nowadays.

    How's about we all get back to the thread and remember to be considerate? If I've offended anyone, I apologize. Let's move on, brothers and sisters. Common sense and courtesy (good words of yours) should be our guide.

    No one should feel unwelcome. As some cartoon character used to say: Let's get on with it. THANKS.

    (And THANKS for all the SPAM comments. I think I'll go make a Spamwich!)

    Around here you could buy "white gas", which was no lead in the 60's. It was recommended for lawn mowers and tractors. Amoco high test was no lead too.

    The April 18, 1906 San Francisco earthquake caused over 1500 deaths
    and was followed by a fire that devastated the city. Over 25,000 buildings
    burned. Without the photos, it would be just another statistic.

    I forgot all about the white gas that dad bought for use in the camp stove and lantern,I should of said when they started pushing lead free gas for automotive use it was cheaper then leaded regular untill it was manditory for the 75 and up vehicles then it became more expensive by a few cents a gallon.
     
  13. Looks like a gas generator. Burning wood or other combustible material to create a gas that works like natural gas.

    Germany. For you young'uns, WWII (it was in all the papers)
    A homemade (eigenbau) "alternate fuel" solution. I believe it burned coal. Might be incorrect about the fuel. Not sure of the technical details. I am sure someone will chime in with bettter information.

    I do not believe it's a steam generator. That would likely be the death of the engine. I think that it is, as mentioned previously by NOTGETTINGRICH, a gas generator. Gasoline was unobtainable. Coal was hard to come by, but lots of wood. Studied a bit about all this when I was in school at Univ of Mich. If I had been a better student then I might remember the details.

    Wood or coal gasification generator. Used in both WWI and WWII when petroleum fuels were scarce. If I am not mistaken the gas derived is Hydrogen.

    Thought I had seen all of the Marx Bros. films but I
    missed that one!:eek:
    Harpo was a big fan of Salvidore Dali and had him do a
    drawing of him playing a "special" harp(with forks on it).
    Just in case anyone cares!
