Paul,

    Did Russell Kent ever get the alternate site up and running? If so
announced, I missed it and the URL.

He is still working on it. The site needs to be such so that people
can download from it large files up to about 10 meg each.
Each Mazda SAE paper is about 10 meg  of pdf file format.
I takes too long to do that and in most case not even possible
by email. Many ISPs have email size limits. With Earthlink it is five meg.

I spent a lot of time scanning in the Mazda SAE papers I had
and converting them to pdf format for the original
site that then offered them for download.  For awhile.

The pdf format is necessary because of the detailed graphics
and small type used in many illustrations. With the pdf format
you can zoom in for the details.

Lets hope Russell is successful. My work load would be greatly reduced
if everybody down loaded these technical papers and became familiar with
all aspects of the Mazda rotary engine.

I have also suggested to Mazda that they update and republish
Kenichi Yamamoto's 1981 book Rotary Engine. There is nothing like it
to effectively educate people on the advantages of the rotary
engine. IMHO the reason why the rotary is not more popular is
because almost no one understands it. Present company excepted.

Ok, thanks, Paul.  Looking foward to reading those papers.  Guess I should

have down loaded them earlier from the pervious site.  Having spend many
hours scanning in hundereds of photos for my genealogy work of the family, I
can understand.

   Wouldn't it be excellent if Mazda took your suggestion!  Hell, they might
make  more profit selling the book {:>).
