Re: Autographed valve cover

Dave,

And to answer (belatedly) your question about my Sprite's "autographed" valve
cover...no, never found anything out. I suspect that C.R. Chapman was just a
worker on the engine assembly line who got fed up with being an anonymous cog
in a big production process, whipped out his engraving tool and "immortalized"
himself on the A-series engine passing under his hands at that moment. Well, if
it made him feel better, good on him.

As I say, that's just my guess..until a better (or more interesting) theory
comes along.
