When Art Gaier first received the Jopson Motor<\/a> it was missing pieces and looking pretty old and worn.\u00a0 After many internet searches and talking to people, he met and started conversing with the owner of another Jopson Motor in England.\u00a0 Between the two of them they had complete parts for one full engine and were able to provide measurements, photographs and drawings of missing parts to the other.\u00a0 Also helpful was the information provided in the 1916 Model Aeroplanes and Their Motors<\/a><\/em> (which in and of itself was basically a re-print of an article found in the March 30, 1912 issue of Flight<\/em> Magazine).<\/p>\n
