the Miller Cycle engine, I've never heard of it before... and a bit about Mazda
I just learned they have a museum: http://www.mazda.com/mazdaspirit/museum/index.html?link_id=sc it's in Hiroshima Japan, though you can do a bit of exploring with Google Street View http://www.mazda.com/mazdaspirit/museum/guide.html
As with its leadership in Wankel technology, Mazda remains (so far) the only automaker to have used a Miller-cycle engine in the automotive realm. The reason is simple, incredibly more expensive, (supercharger and intercoolers) very little gain in power 10hp, or mpg 15% http://www.motivemag.com/pub/feature/tech/Motive_Tech_Miller_Time_-_The_Miller_Cycle_Engine_Explained.shtml
Mazda remains the only automaker to have produced a Wankel-powered pickup truck.
Additionally, it is also the only marque to have ever offered a rotary-powered bus (the Mazda Parkway, offered only in Japan) or station wagon (within the RX-3 & RX-4 line for US markets).
Mazda also helped Ford develop the 1991 Explorer, which Mazda sold as the 2-door only Mazda Navajo from 1991 through 1994. Ironically, Mazda's version was unsuccessful, while the Ford (available from the start as a 4-door or 2-door model) instantly became the best selling sport-utility vehicle in the United States and kept that title for over a decade
a new gallery of the "Wheels Through Time" motorcycle museum in North Carolina I just came across had these gems
it's a rare and intriguing find of a motorcycle that was made into a rail car, in this case, for a mine
tire chains, well... I had never thought about using old sprocket chains before, but I bet they would work just fine
these are just a sample of the gallery at http://goodsparkgarage.com/wheels-through-time-vintage-motorcycle-museum/#more-5525
I just learned about the Hajek Motorsports Museum, a collection of dragsters and Nascar vintage racers

these are just a small sample of the cars and photos from the collection and website of Brent Hajek's website and museum in Ames Oklahoma http://hajekmotorsports.com/about
the San Diego Air and Space Museum at the Gillespie Field outpost (next to the Atlas Missile)
how they talked the military into donating to the museum such a variety is amazing
so tiny it fits on a pallet!

one of the guys at the museum said this was early 1910s, and mostly original
connections between early vehicles and aircraft, multiple innovators used a variety of car and motorcycle parts to power early aircaft
1958 home made helicopter with a Triumph engine
1925 Henderson/Indian engine with a Ford Model T front wheel spindle used as prop shaft
and a engine from McCulloch for a target drone project. McCulloch supercharger and Magneto
all found at the San Diego Air and Space Museum loacation at the Santee airstrip at Gillespie Field
I finally learned of a model T museum that has been photographed many times but not identified in emails, Near Yuma Arizona is an old gas station / private collection/museum
Steve told me that this was originally a gas station in Holtville Ca, but was bought and moved here
