Welcome to the Pipe Organ Forum! This is a part of the open community Magle International Music Forums focused on pipe organs (also known as "church organs"), organists, organ music and related topics.
This forum is intended to be a friendly place where technically advanced organists and beginners (or even non-organists) can feel comfortable having discussions and asking questions. We learn by reading and asking questions, and it is hoped that the beginners (or non-organists) will feel free to ask even the simplest questions, and that the more advanced organists will patiently answer these questions. On the other hand, we encourage complex, technical discussions of technique, music, organ-building, etc. The opinions and observations of a diverse group of people from around the world should prove to be interesting and stimulating to all of us.
As pipe organ discussions can sometimes become lively, it should be pointed out that this is an open forum. Statements made here are the opinion of the poster, and not necessarily that of the forum itself, its administrator, or its moderators.
In order to post a new topic - or reply to existing ones - you may join and become a member by clicking on Register New User. It's completely free and only requires a working email address (in order to confirm your registration - it will never be given away!). We strive to make this a friendly and informative forum for anyone interested in pipe organs and organ music.

A good link Mike, Black Shadow ??? way beyond my pay packet, and the XK120 always wanted one and eventually got a XK150 DHC which was fast but a pig to drive so had to go, but I have had a life long love of sport cars and even have one at the moment but a more modern one

Well I have a $50 note. Could I have please have a $20, two $10s and two $5s?
Isn't "Wanganui" a wonderful word? It's one of those "on the edge" type words, you know, the sort to elicit a chuckle from a Yr 7 class (like "Wankel Rotary Engine").

Hey Soubasse, please don't knock the Wankel - I had a triple rotor in my Mazda Rx-8 which sang like a Formula One on Track Day when I pulled away from a Porsche 911.

The only trouble with the Wankel was the precision engineering required, too much latitude for error <!!!!!> same as Obama perhaps???

After I bought my RX-8, I replaced the factory seals on the rotors with special order carbon seals - I never had any problems - And I changed oil and filter every thousand kilometers. I keep on telling people: If the factory recommends an oil change every 3000 miles, then change it at 1500 miles - you'll do your engine and yourself a big favor........

Its the filters that do all the work these days CD. Some of the old London buses had done 100,000 miles without an oil change. Just regular filter changes with a special micro filter, so I am told. Not suggesting that would be a good idea on a high performance car or bike.

Ehmmmm... sorry to interrupt again...... Didn't Fokker Triplanes had Rotary Engines too ??!! (in 1917...) Red Baron made some change with his red one... !!!!!

If my memory serves me........Suzuki also had a rotary model........

I believe several early planes used rotary engines firstly around 1908. They had good power to weight ratio and were not prone to overheating. But no one has yet come up with a perfect design and erradicated the inherent faults. The boxer engine is probably the best overall design and having a low profile helps keep the weight low down in the car. But being a Porsche and Volkswagon beetle fan (the original air cooled one) I may be a teeny bit biased.
