[Healeys] More old maxims

[Patrick & Caroline Quinn]

G'day

I was wondering how the subject moved from Austin-Healeys to old machine
guns.

The Maxim gun was invented in 1883 by Sir Hiram Stevens Maxim and was the
first recoil-operated machine gun. It was used throughout Europe and prior
to WW1 by the US forces.

After many redesigns it was known as the Vickers machine gun and I remember
using one in the late 1960s.

 From many many years ago from my Uncle when I was a kid and loved working,
well playing, with him a direct quote I'll never forget when I asked about
how tight:

"As tight as a ducks ass and that is water tight".
