Thanks Dave for forewarding my copy, it seems to have more of interest to me than some issues, hot air engines, and the revolving armature engine.
One wee tip that might interest you about that motor kit. When you get brass screws like you mentioned, its a good idea to get some steel screws same size(even old beat up ones), and use these initially on assembly, once it all fits together, take out the steel screws and replace with the brass, the threads are formed and little pressure is required to put in the brass one, there by reducing the chance of damage. Make sure your screw driver fits well, best if hollow ground on the faces above the tip, so that the part that enters the slot is parallel.
Like the look of that motor, might try my own version one day. Ian S C
