As I hinted at on another thread, I tipped Russell off about a suitable piece of period engine shop equipment that might come in handy.

Well I can confirm that he managed to secure the said item.

What is it.......

A Stuska engine dynomometer built for Empi, Riverside California.  Its rated up to 200HP as it features a water brake.

A couple of pics:

What you need is a period engine to display on it. I am thinking a 76 x 90 NPRs with dual 48s. Then put it in your living room! Neat toy.

I have one of those too, but have never used it.
It's been sitting in the corner ever since I bought it.
