Laid out the TTR trajectory triangle. I need the distance between the TTR & minimal impact point. Tried to get it from the Corps of Engineer, but they had the tables for NE only. Those are the tables to convert UTM to Lat-Long. They referred me to a Mr. Yingling at Warick, Rhode Island, Chief of the AMS there.

Overcast, 29.69″ Hg

Left Toro gas tank at AMS on way to work so they can soak it in carburetor cleaner. They said the Central Garage in Stowe has Briggs & Stratton parts. I tried it later in the day, but they didn’t have the shaft. The points & condensers came, so I put them in, setting the gap at 0.020″.

I also timed the Ford; it was out a lot.
