Ok. Ok. I guess I can take a couple of snapshots of the thing. Nobody
would believe it if I could describe it accurately anyway!

Works cool! There's no lock-out mechanism, just a real stiff spring that
you have to overpower. I can just reach down there and muscle it in, but
Theresia has to rare back and frap it one.

This guy earns his keep. He's from Ft. Wayne, Indiana. We met on the
autocross list. He comes out here on business quite a bit, and he sort of
has a standing "reservation" for the extra room at our place.
Two weeks ago he spent all day Saturday helping put a new roof on my
mother-in-law's garage. Last June he helped design and build a motorized
contraption that we used to tumble a rust-encrusted Series II Alpine gas
tank. And before that, he helped set up the Holley on the Mk II when we
switched from the double-pumper to the vacuum-actuated secondaries.

Yeah. Sort of puts extra significance on that bumper sticker about all the
parts falling off the car being of the finest British workmanship. Thank
you!
