These are pictures of some of my engines that I have been
working on this year.

Photo 1 is a 3 HP Fairbanks Morse Z that I have had for years. I
repainted it, put it on a cart, and did some minor repairs. This is
a 1918 pattern engine with a Sumter Plug oscillator.

Photo 2 is a 4 HP Myrick Eclipse that I repainted, fixed the
sheet metal on, welded broken parts, etc. I bought it about eight
years ago from a collector who got it two years earlier from an old
oil lease. It is air cooled, hot tube ignition, with an unusual
inertia governor. It was originally attached to an oil well pump.
It will go on its cart in the spring.

Photo 3 is of a 2 HP Bovaird & Company engine. There seems
to be only one or two of this size around anymore. Many thanks to
Mike Fuoco for his help with some of the parts and information on
this engine.

I would also like to thank Mr. G. H. Van Dijk of Groningen,
Netherlands for the info and manual on the generator I inquired
about in the May 97 GEM (32-8-24). It was made by Douglas Kinswood
Ltd., of England, and was used as a 12-volt charger set. It is war
surplus and is missing more parts than I thought!
