Catapults are known as "engines of war" and certainly predate internal combustion engines by at least three millenia.

Engines are machines that do work; many machines could be considered engines.


34 & 35 trucks are the greatest. 36 high cabs are OK too.

Kipper,

Long time MGTD owner and was active on the MG owners site. I also had manuals from 1930s British cars, but it probably doesn't colour (color) my thinking. In those manuals, the choke was refered to as a strangler valve.
