About Clive Rodger:
Clive Rodger retired a few years ago from his place of employment at DUPONT of Canada in Kingston, Ontario.
He then re-located to the area of his birth - Lanark where he settled with his wife Alta.
During the the next few years, the neighbours saw a lot of activity around the family homestead, what with renovations to the house, a new workshop was erected, and there seemed an endless period of mysterious looking mechanical apparatus being trucked in and placed in the new workshop and storage building.
Then there were the sounds emitting from the building never heard in the neighbourhood previous to Clive's arrival - some kind of an engine sound , ......swish swish swish, kerboom, .....swish, swish swish, kerboom. Eventually the curious neighbours discovered that their newest neighbour was a master restorer of old hit and miss Gas Engines, that started out as dirty grease covered pieces of iron in various shapes, however, eventually they all sported a nice
shiny coat of paint in various colours. Occasionally these items left the building on a trailer
when Clive and his wife travelled to various antique shows around the countryside.
Eventually Clive got his equipment in order, and in between going to farm auction sales, and trips to his hunting camp, he decided to expand his Lanark facility with the purchase of some nearby property. Shortly thereafter he erected a suitable building for his dream of a
place to display his restored equipment and other interesting historical artifacts that one might find in or around an older farmhouse or in the barns and sheds.
This man has many talents, and the following highlight just a few.
