Hi, Casey -

Thanks for pointing this out.

I'm not sure of the dates, but these four ran for at least a few years - perhaps several -
with Stephenson valve gear and "inboard" piston valves, before being converted to
Wahlshearts gear for both better valve timing and easier maintenance. I've edited my
post (above) to make this a bit clearer.

- Russ
