Re: Tales of Woe!
I bought some 1/4" CR rods from Tractor Supply that were very difficult to thread, so I went back to square one and measured them. Behold!! They were several thous over-sized! Guess I learned my lesson about always needing to measure stock before trying to thread it!

Re: .22 Hornet Revolver

Re: balanced poppet valves for steam
The now defunct(I Think) magazine "Light Steam Power" had over the years lots of experimental engine articles. It would contain a wealth of info if you could lay hands on some bound issues. Good luck! Also, check out the work of Abner Doble.
