A young guy stopped by the house when I was in high-school.  Wanted a 
jug of water.  He was driving an old, English sports car of some type 
and had a hole in the radiator.  He'd drive a few miles, till the water 
boiled out of the block, stop to pour another jug in and keep driving.  
Everything was fine, until that water jacket got boiled away.  Didn't 
the Wright Flyer use the same technique?

Just thought it might be an interesting point.
