No setting up timing chains, or torqe wrenches in those days all done by hand true workmanship.

Even the testing was an hard job by the looks of it, but must have been great fun.

Planning is an unnatural process, much better to just get on with things, that way failure comes as a complete surprise instead of being preceeded by a period of worry and doubt
