 * I doubt you'll find a man engine still working anywhere, but you might still get a rid on a ceir gwyllt, the Welsh skateboard. Andy Dingley (talk) 10:38, 23 January 2012 (UTC)


 * I don't know what you are talking about, but I hope it is not like the left handed monkey wrench! ;)  TCO (Reviews needed) 10:41, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

Mechanical Information
A great deal is out there on the internet in general about the "user interface" of the two types of "man engine" (one vs two rod), step on/off, etc, but I can find little to no information about the different mechanical constructions. That is, there is the very early German two-rod system run by water wheel, that is fairly well explained in the way-back link about the `GRUBE SAMSON SILVER MINE`, but otherwise there are only hints about the evolution of this into atmospheric and steam engines, installation of flywheels for predictable motion, etc. Wondering if there are resources to old patents that could be used as further article reference. ALSO, given folks are most likely find this article while looking for information around the 1919 Levant Disaster, it would be nice to have some reference to the mechanical around that specific installation as well.
