   A quote from the _Technicle_Tidbits_ column from the November issue
of Road & Track magazine that's just too good to pass up.

   'The internal-combustion engine began with the invention of the cannon.
As a domesticated machine it did have the serious drawback that it threw
away the piston on each power stroke.'
