Dan Yaeger, of the Charles River Museum of Industry introduced Ellen Hagney a new member
of the staff. She will be running events which will attract the community
to the museum.
Norm Jones shows off a mineral specimen from Florida which Harvey Noel was kind
enough to transport back to MA for him. We often joke that Norm
knows EVERYBODY. Well, during the recent visit of Pope Benedict the 16th
to New York City Norm was able to meet the Pope and was invited up on to the
dais with the pontif. A wave of whispering went through the crowd as one
person asked another who that old guy was up there with Norm.
Dick Boucher passed around this jig which he had made to hold connecting rods in
proper alignment for secondary machining.
Our speaker Dave Beard presented an interesting talk on ignition systems of
early I.C. engines. He was kind enough to share his slide show (in
pps format)with this web page.
