(This ad and article taken from the Farm Implement News of April
15, 1915. Volume XXXVI.) Arthur says: ‘The answer to a picture
(What Is It?) in your Sept.-Oct. 68 GEM is in this
article.’
The Termaat & Monahan Company of Oshkosh, Wis., placed a new
engine on the market the first of this year, which has many new and
decided improvements.
These engines, as can be seen from the cut, have vertical
valves, which simply float in the cages, doing away with the wear
on the valve stems and the valve seats. The inlet valve is
automatically operated, and the exhaust valve mechanically operated
by means of a pull rod from the eccentric. Access to the valves is
obtained by a cage immediately at the top of the integral cylinder
head, and these valves may be ground in this position. This
arrangement is very simple, and they are very easily removed. When
this arrangement was designed, kerosene operation was taken into
consideration. Economical fuel consumption has been obtained, as
the gas sprays directly on the exhaust valve, which is the hottest
part of the engine. Because of this, the fuel is not wasted, and
greater power obtained per cubic compression unit.

The T. & M. engine has a speed change attached to it to
change the speed while operating. This may be accomplished by
simply turning the screw up or down to lessen or create a pressure
by means of the wedge shape point onto the governor collars. This
acts directly on the main governor springs instead of on auxiliary
springs. The usual method is through levers and auxiliary springs
and push rod. Not only does this method decrease the cost of
manufacture, but it has less working parts, and therefore less
trouble, and acts more quickly. Furthermore, it does not create a
change in jerks, but does so gradually, which has a tendency to
decrease the wear on all the working parts of the engine. This
engine has a two-ball governor, which is very sensitive to
regulation, simple and exceptionally strong. There is also a heavy
cast iron shield for protection which has a very neat appearance.
It extends from the base of the engine over the connecting rod to
the hopper.
The ignition equipment consists of a self-starting magneto,
which eliminates batteries, wires, coils, etc., and which has been
thoroughly recommended by the most prominent engineers. These have
been tested out for quite a number of years, and have proven a most
satisfactory ignition equipment.
The T. & M. line of engines is diversified, being
manufactured in sizes from 1? to 20 hp. Every engine is guaranteed
to develop considerably more than the rated horsepower, and all are
heavy in construction. In fact all of the dimensions are liberal,
which makes them engines that will stand up under all conditions.
Furthermore, these engines were designed as popular priced outfits,
with an exceptionally big profit to the dealer. Termaat &
Monahan Company of Oshkosh will give full particulars regarding the
dealer proposition. Dealers at distant points can purchase through
the many jobbing connections.
