Thanks Barry,great pics.I was trying to recognise the background to the pics but did not go in Glen quarry much,only passed as a kid because in the late 60s early 70s you could go in to the quarry entrance and the road carried on in to Braithwell all sealed off now.If you come across any more pics from my area please post,regards Paul.

Hi Larry,
I’m pleased to say I missed the era of starting handles on lorries (although they were still on the old bangers we bought at age 17), did they have some sort of exhaust valve opening system so that you could get a bit of speed up before the compression stroke?

Yes the Gardner engines did, You could start them on three cylinders by lifting the lever on the end of the rocker cover & when the engine fired up the lever dropped back down & it fired on all 6, Regards Larry.

They were decompression levers, visible on old Gardners. It must have been more of a fiddle when you had to lift the engine cowl inside the cab to access the engine; and once started, close up the cowl again. Even your petrol-engined car in the old days could give you a kick if you didn’t pay attention. I was very wary of my P4 Rover 95 on cold mornings because the 6-cyl engines seemed fiercer on the crank handle than the 4-cyl ones IIRC. Something my great nephew will never have to lose sleep over!
