Yes, you’re right, I was thinking of the book gengas, from 45-46, it’s not that detailed.

Are you sure there isn’t an English translation even as a PDF?
The Gengas WW2 book was translated by the SMP in the late 70s so it wouldn’t be far fetched they did the other book.
If you can send a full PDF of the original I could probably try to run it through a translator app.

I’ll look when I get home to the computer, I found the place so Niklas could order the pages for the book from, maybe I can get hold of them there.

Speaking of information sharing maybe both of you: J.O. and JanA. could encourage Niklas (Omstallningaresan?) to put up his youtube interviews as CC enabled.
THEN any one can use the youtube(Google) live onscreen translation features. Not just for us English speakers, but many more other languages. German, French, Ukranian, Russian, Finnish, Slovin, Italian, Czech, Polish, Spanish, Portuguese and many more, all DOW members. And then, Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Indonesian, and on.
Not CC enabling he seems to only be concerned about Sweden and Swedish speaking people.
It is a very big world. And at an apparent working woodgas interest rates of 1 in 1,000,000 overall; a fellow needs all the friends he can find.
Only putting up information in just one language is very un-friendly.

Do you know how to do it, I have no idea.

The youtube presenter is offered many possibilities when they post up.
The youtube viewer is not. What you see is what you get.

I don’t remember actually. Maybe I mix it up with the Finnish report, where they fed snowballs into the hopper.
Me neither.
Do any of us enable cc when posting? Even English isn’t universal.
I’ve never managed to make translations work anyway. If the language is Spanish, Spanish subtitles is what I get.
I can mention it next time I talk to him. Hopefully he knows what to do.
Or, you could comment on a video if his.

I can’t find anything about this book, it’s under the national archives and doesn’t seem to be digitized, I know that Niklas had to order a pdf of the pages of the book.

When you upload the video on a computer it gives the option for cc enabled during the upload process, videos viewed on a computer can go through settings and toggle between languages but I dont have either of the options on youtube mobile app on either of my phones so im assuming only on the actual websight this can be done. Its a factory setting as far as I know to leave cc enabled, I know I have several viewers in india, russia and germany that us cc to watch my videos and leave comments in their native tongue which I then have to use a translater app to read and reply to

Ok, so there’s nothing I can do after I upload the movie?

Not from the YouTube mobile app no, but from the website itself on your page go to your channel top right corner click customize channel that will take you to your channel dashboard. Find the “content” tab on the left side click it. This should take you to a complete list of all your videos,then select the video you want to enable cc on, click on the little highlight next to it labeled details. This goes to a options setup for all details on the video and on the left side should see a tab for subtitles, click it. From there you can choose a given language to auto generate with cc on the video. This can then be changed by any viewer of the video to their native tongue if it is a language supported by YouTube

A was handed a present for no reason from a neighbour of mine. He was cleaning out his parent’s house and found this saw stored away.
Chainsaw wizard @Woodrunner Maybe you know something about this old Stihl

Now where talking 
, nice old 041 Stihl, good saws at their time, strong, odd to see one with the Swedish type kick-back protection, the type that Partner introduced. Good thing with that protection was when learning de-limbing one learned to never let go of front handle, it kinda slide/followed. Probably only good thing with that type protection, before the active chainbrake become standard…
Edit: some info: made 1967-1977, 60cc, AV stands for vibration dampened (handles mounted in rubber bushings)

Snow! Times up! Gotta move everything out of the snow dumps and widden the driveway!
I am trying not to use the snowblower this year. It will be about $50 a trip this year. I am trying to get something dieselish to plow with. If I use the Autopatrol, I will need an acre at each end to turn around with, plus snow dumps.
I dunno. I better put a mean tune on the Snowblower’s FE blocks! Just in case. The Autopatrol does not have power steering, and I don’t have very good upper body strength (better start lifting seriously).
Just never got far enough this year with projects.

Starting today is Dallas NC’s Heritage & Harvest Days festival, or as it was called until recently, Cotton Ginning Days. Big antique machinery festival. Makes me wish I had a gasifier ready to show off but I don’t want to kludge something just for a weekend.

I always enjoy those old engine shows. There is one in Escanaba, and one in Buckley, both are highly enjoyable. Grayling and Ontonagon used to have shows but I haven’t been in twenty years.
I have never seen a gas producer at a show.
This is about as close as I recall.

Maybe if I’m ever lucky to get a Flathead 4 cylinder I’d make a dedicated show-off gasifier. Something powering lights maybe. I don’t even know how you’d go show something off for that event.

Hey Bruce. Did you ever see that well pump mechanism that operates from a central hub with about 8 steel rods extending out at the Buckley show? All just lays on the ground. I have tried to look it up on-line or find some kind of description with no luck.

This was once discussed here on the DOW TomH.

An eccentric wheel driven “Jerk-Line” system?
