I think Bill Santos's engine is actually a Standard not a Union...
Here's a photo of my Union

Thanks! Yes, it's on my trailer. I think this is pre 1895 because Philadelphia Iron Works moved to Eddystone/Chester PA in 1895. The tag on this one says Philly, not Eddystone like the later models. Last Pat'n date is 1893 on the tag for what that's worth... Many small differences between this one and some of the Union/Frisco/Standards that I see. The igniter isn't a flat bar trip, intake valve is in the top, etc.
Running the vaporizer makes it easy to understand why Mr Schebler's Model D revolutionized the engine carburetor. |
