Repairs to Coffee Pot have been completed by Vincent Allen following discovery of some damage to one of the pistons. As a precaution both pistons have been renewed and during the work it was discovered that the bores of the cylinders were different sizes! Valve chest drain cocks have been fitted - these being a later modification which we hoped would be unnecessary but have proved to be prudent to fit.
