    RE compressed air devices and vehicles, there were all kinds of small, air driven locomotives used in mines and other industries where fire burning locos, electric sparks and / or fumes were a problem and safety concern. I wouldn't be surprised at all to find out some were still in use today. Gary

    certainly pre- 1920. I am still researching
    The engine came apart with patience, and is unworn inside!

    No with an old friend. There are more of those around than anyone would guess survived. Many times I've looked at little narrow garages under houses here an wondered "What was parked in that?" Having been here for many years I have seen wonderful things pulled out of those little garages.Oh how I enjoy the hunt and mystery of those tiny structures lock for so many years. We have a couple one-owner items parked and protected well after the owners passing. Sometimes even after their children have passes on. It is wonderful how things just get "Put Away"

    No trouble finding fuel when you are on the road, it uses the original bio-fuels.

    That Mog either has--
    1 A bent, or bending vertical suspension pin or
    2 A " " " spindle, or
    3 Both of the above.
    Three wheel Morgans only have enough camber to bring the tire contact path co-incident with the king/suspension pin.
