Here are pictures and specifications of some retired pumping
engines that someone had the foresight to save and mount in the
John Stretch Park next to Lake Okeechobee.
The engines were used for flood control around the Lake. Most
were replaced by opposed piston F.B. engines.
That 11 cylinder Nordberg is MOST IMPRESSIVE!
