Correction: September 2000 “Canadian MeccaNotes” page 10, 2nd column, 2nd paragraph – “Across the two 3-in. strips, mentioned above, a 7in. rod carries the valve mechanism.” should read “Across the two 3-hole strips, mentioned above, a 7in. rod carries the valve mechanism.”, i.e. “3-hole strips”, not “3-in. strips”.
