Reminds me of a comedy sketch many years back.
A woman meets up with a bloke from her past, and at first can't recall him. After a bit, she exclaims "Oh, you're Victor!"
the bloke says "No, I'm Greg."
"Yea, but all the girls called you Victor, you know...2 stroke."

Explanation: In Australia, Victa lawn mowers are/were very common, and powered by 2 stoke engines.
Cheers, Mike.

You have to mix oil with petrol in a two-stoke engine - rather a pain! My parents had one when I w2aqs a kid and old enought to use it and I disliked the mixing part.

As far as Saint-Saens "Symphony No. 3 in C minor, op 78 "Organ", I have to admit it lasts far longer than "Also Spach Zaruthustra" so I doubt it fits the Victor clasification!

:OT: If you want to listen to the "organ" Sympnony, two highly recommended recordings are Charles Munch conducting the Boston SO. or Charles Dutoit with the Montreal SO.

Damn my sticky "arse" - that should have read 2 stroke! :$ :$


Yes, my friend, that's the same company, see extract of Wiki topic:
Interest was shown in the design by Mervyn Richardson, Chairman of Victa Ltd, which at that time was best known for making lawn mowers and light two-stroke engines.
Cheers, Mike.

stoke.......

George Stokes established the science of hydrodynamics with his law of viscosity describing the velocity of a small sphere through a viscous fluid.
