Dear Mr. Payne,
Sorry it took me so long to reply, my internet connection was on the blink.
The turbine motor that my dad, and his co-workers at GM built, would burn
anything combustible. He said it even burned castor oil; which I didn't even
know was combustible (shows you how much I know).
I had thought nobody was interested in that post so I didn't ask him many
details when I saw him after. He did say he kept all the plans, specs and
pictures.
Sincerely,
Sondra
