Altec 2-way XO update
The Altec N1600C series crossover has been a significant constituent in the evolution of my Altec 2-way horn speaker system. C. G. McProud's 1947 article on page 101 of Audio Anthology, Volume 1, was my first encounter with series crossovers although Western Electric was already using the topology in the 1930s. As an aside, my knowledge of electronics is basic. I don't even own a circuit simulation program and rely on my collection of audio electronic textbooks, old magazines plus what my ears tell me as reliable internet sources for "techie stuff."

Altec 2-way horn system redux
Truth be told, I was never fully satisfied with the performance of the Altec 2-way which is why I never uploaded the old article in the Arkiv.

Water Pump
I visited a friend the day after Christmas. On the way home the water pump started squealing badly ;(
The radiator and fan had to be removed.
Old pump off - I hosed the water jackets in the engine block and cylinder head until the water became clear. Lots of rust.
New water pump to the left ready for installation.
Done - elapsed time ~ 2.5 hours
