Ladies and Gentlemen, I can now confirm that a Lister CS6/1 has been procured and a mating made in heaven with the Samuel Platt hammer. It is a truly delightful contrivance, and I was invited to take charge of the self commencer for a demonstration. With a satisfying cloud of black smoke the owner and I joined hands and danced in a circle to the rythmic pop pop pop of the engine. "That engines alright" I commented. The hammer when the pedal was depressed burst into violent life after the rain had cleared from the clutch, a wondrous site.
The owner is now starting to take orders for Sea Scopium hooks, a For Sale ad will appear when production has been mastered.


Richard, the bung in the bottom of the Scopium trawler might not be any good for weeing down but I think it will make a spectacular bidet.
