Folks,
I am sure that the Elswick and Hopper Lincoln Imp models have but a small
following with CR members. However, there are some, and I may have an
opporunity to source downtube transfers/decals, featuring the name and the
Imp himself, or herself/itself? Please get in touch if you are one of the
rare afficianados of the marque.
So far as the recent posts on engineers vs mechanics, this has been a
controversy since Stephenson and the Rocket. Practical engineers vs hands on
mechanics. The Germans solved the problems with the term Ingenieur; trust
them to sort things out! As a chartered engineer with a degree in mechanical
engineering and also having served a marine engineering apprenticeship I can
honestly say that the status of a degree is not important to me. It is how
you treat people and how you achieve results that ultimately counts.
