        If y'all have a hankering to see the real thing,
there's
one of those engines hanging in the Ford Foundation Museum
in Detroit.  Least there was ten years ago.  Probably still
got the drool stains on the floor from when I was there.
I'll have to get back up there some time.  That was only one
of a long list of mechanical wonders of past ages that they
had on display.  Love those old engines.
