It looks to be right-hand drive too. (unless that is a passenger-operated horn)

Modern Technology makes it possible to fit a replacement condensor inside the points housing. http://www.brightsparkmagnetos.com/easycap/index.htm

Are the front wheels the same size? (I know one has a tyre and one doesn't, but the left wheel also looks bigger)

Never skimp on anything that comes between you and the ground. That includes shoes, beds, sofas and tyres. But not, you will notice, cookers. Incidentally, when cooker-shopping you might want to consider those that offer pyrolytic cleaning, the higher temperature is likely to be more useful for tempering and annealing parts.

Sankey made solid disc wheels back in the teens. LP8389, the 1916 Dennis Fire engine has them. https://goo.gl/images/tXWvFB However those are twin-wall riveted together through tubular spacers, and I can see no sign of rivets in the photos.

There might be a more benign explanation, everyone burned coal back then, and everything was filthy. Even when I was a kid you would get black smudges from touching tree bark. It's not much of a stretch to assume that led to leaf efficiency tailing off earlier in the year than it does now.

Maybe an experiment with a cheap old bicycle lamp or similar is in order?

Ben's Glamorous assistant said, some time ago "chelation by the oligosaccharides" So that's your answer. Now you just need to understand it 🙂

Not just the Antipodeans, I used this on my Ner-a-Car chassis and other parts with great success. Though I did feel a bit strange buying all the molasses in Tesco.

Does anyone want it? I don't.

Note, also, that the Drummond double-height-bed 5" lathe in this photo is being used with a powered overhead to grind a crank journal. https://s3.amazonaws.com/gwfattachments/monthly_05_2015/post-63666-0-71611300-1430571758_thumb.jpg And the far end of the crank is being supported by a Con-rod held in the drilling vice on the drill press 🙂 That's a Gosling level of machine capacity stretching.

Also shows that the motor drives a ring gear on the flywheel of the lathe. So I am rather sure that it is a Drummond lathe. http://www.lathes.co.uk/drummond-geared-flywheel/ Shows what looks like _exactly_ the same lathe, with the leadscrew handwheel and clasp nut on the side of the apron.

Interesting photo here. https://goo.gl/images/eanLNe It looks like the drill press can be swung out to the outside of the body. So perhaps that whole wooden beam rotates?

I think I found an example of the same engine in my dad's barn. It's not in great shape (the intake manifold is broken, and rain water has got in). But it does have a magneto. https://photos.app.goo.gl/UcZs82fYBV38M9MRA
