Here are a couple of Grand Rapids Gas Engine and Yacht Co. motors I just got. They are missing the flywheels, and the twin is missing the water pump and timer. but, a nice pair. If anyone has one, and can take measurements for the flywheel, please get a hold of me.

Bill,
Great find! 
You probably remember some earlier postings such as this one. |

Yes, I saw that. hopefully, Miro has some much higher resolution photos he can email me. I can't tell if the writing is on the head in his photos. |

The Grand Rapids Gas Engine & Yacht Company was a very early mfgr that would be worthy of a concentrated research project.
1904
1905
1906
Later months of 1905 the castings were changed to split cases, The two engines above are 1905 or earlier !
Great Find Bill !
