MRS. CLARENCE REED OF 426 MARGARET STREET, AKRON 6, OHIO, ASKING
ABOUT THE KIT-TEN ON THE HEAD TANK OF HER HUSBAND’S GAAR SCOTT
22 HP. ENGINE SHE SAYS IT IS A BEAUTIFUL, BIG, BLACK, DIRTY THING.
CLARENCE SATS HE LOVES BOTH SHE AND THE ENGINE. HE ALSO SAYS,
‘IT WAS NO EASY TRICK TO GET HER CLOSE ENOUGH TO SNAP THE
PICTURE. SHE IS PLENTY GUN SHY, ANYWAY.’ (CLARENCE IS A GOOD
Editor.)
Mr. Guy W. Scheuler, 6130 S. 22nd St., Omaha, Nebraska, sends us
this picture of a 22hp. Baker pulling a Gaar Scott Mill of the
friction drive type, which is quite old. Taken at Thompson,
Nebraska, 1953. Omer Scheuler, brother of Guy, is the owner and
filing the saw. Guy sends a couple bucks to keep the steam up
another year. He says he has a Port Huron Longfellow No. 7738. It
sure is a shame so many steamers have been junked. My father was a
real good engine, separator and mill man. He has a 16hp. Gaar
Scott, 16 Aultman Taylor, 18 hp. Advance, 16hp. Russell, 20hp.
N&S. and a 14hp. Starr.
