    There is a very small hole in the disc and a hole about the size of a pencil it the tip.

    Don't have a good guess yet but I'd assume that the small hole in the disc is from corrosion. I'm sure one of these fine people on here will chime in with the answer though.

    Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts.
    Of all the preposterous assumptions of humanity over humanity, nothing exceeds most of the criticisms made on the habits of the poor by the well-housed, well-warmed and well-fed.

    Tony, I'd sure like to see some pics of your engines. I love those old things. I found several over the years at old mining sites in southern Nevada. Later I realized what they were. Apparently someone else did also. Went back a couple years later and they were gone.
