AEHS Newsletter 2018 #1
Compiled by Tom Fey and Tony Ward
Published 8 Mar 2018

AEHS board members Tony Ward and Tom Fey are coordinating with president Kim McCutcheon to collect and distribute information we believe to be of interest to our membership. This could include photographs, links, or documents, and the newsletter will go out by email four times a year during the 2018 trial period. Our goal is increase utilization of the AEHS web site, participation in the Society, and stimulate discussion on topics of interest to the AEHS.

We encourage our members to utilize the AEHS web site for the latest additions.
   The latest web site entries can found on the bottom of the home page (http://www.enginehistory.org/).
   The Links section (seventh from the bottom on the left side of the home page) contains links to myriad topics and videos submitted by AEHS members.

For the latest AEHS discussion as well as to submit comments on the Newsletter, please see the Members Only (Private) => Members Discussion section of the AEHS Bulletin Board or submit your comments by email to
