I sure would appreciate some photos of a complete timer like this one or at least one similar. The original timer was replaced by a homemade affair that I removed. The home made timer incorporated the original quadrant seen here and incorporated the other two parts shown on top of the engine. Those two parts may be original but they have been modified.

This engine is the Duncan made in Boston that I sent you photos of a month or two ago. There was a brass founder by that name in Boston prior to 1910 but I have not done any research. |

Here is a large brass/bronze timer for a 4 cyl engine. Does anyone recognize what it might have been used on? Being all brass/bronze one suspects it may have been for marine use but it looks old enough to have been used on brass era automobiles as well.
