    I have a manual for the BSA A 320cc engine which I will scan. It shows a Solex 26 FHD or an Amal carb, see below.

    The pool of knowledge within the club is vast and unfortunately some will be lost over time unless it is passed on, either by word of mouth or written down, (puts hand up with guilty look on face).

    Yes 900 tons, which only had a metre to spare either side at one point near Northern line and an escalator according to piece in Radio Times.

    Most likely source would be from another machine, someone may have one they have or are breaking for spares.

    We do have a number of club members in Ireland, not sure if they use the forum though. Might well be worth putting a request in The Cultivator.

    Joe some excellent words, this is a great opportunity for The Cultivator to be THE magazine for followers of our hobby and with very modest membership rates a better choice than the commercial magazines. As you say it does need club members to contribute.
    Allowing for the regular items that are in the magazine approximately 65 pages of content are needed each year to fill all the issues in a year (based on 6 issues a year). We have in excess of 700 members, if each one only contributed one A4 page we would have material for over 10 years issues!!!
    Many say they are not good at writing, as has been said before write it as you would speak it. This is what Maurice Saunders did with his excellent books about timber haulage eg Stories of Round Timer Haulage; Men Mud & Machines.
    If enough material, articles, show reports, auction reports and photos etc are sent in we could increase the number of pages from 16 to 20 or 24 even who knows.

    Yes it is a 17″ machine dating from 1961. Spares for Villiers engines are available from a number of suppliers, eg Meetens, Villiersparts etc

    I wonder if John Cruse knows anything as he is in Hailsham.

    Just another example of how the English language has many words from France, Germany etc.

    Rolcut secateurs go back to the 1930’s so certainly an old design.
    Advert from The Fruit Grower magazine below dated September 5th 1935.
