Hello folks - just brought home the engine in the photos. Was told it is a Sloane but would like some confirmation of that.
The only references I have are in Wendel, pg. 269 and simple notation in Grayson's appendix.
Thanks
Bob Price

Bob,
It's really a "Baby" from Hubbard in Middletown/Portland, CT. (I Think)
Take a look in the "yellow book" under Hubbard page 237 Hubbard did make engine for other names. Dick Day has one with a different tag on it. There are pics on here somewhere. I can't remember the name.
Have a good one
E
by the way did you mean 469 in Wendels book? |

OK - now that Ernie has made the identity, does anyone out there have any literature they could copy for me?

Bob,
I have a pic or 2 of Dick's for your missing ignitor parts. I will post them when I find them. |

Bob,
The 1 pic I have is in the post that Richard brought up today about Fairbanks. It is a kind of poor pic. Dicks ignitor is loose in the cylinder and just sitting there "crosswize" I am sure I can get better pics when I am down at Calvert. Or if you are coming you can get them yourself. You ARE coming down RIGHT? |

I have a piece of a Victor catalog. I'm posting the "Baby" page and a closeup of the engine itself. Did someone need the (Hubbard/Victor/....) itself?

Thanks Tom and Ernie - and yes I will be at Calvert come hell or high water.
Does the reference to FM mean that Hubbard made the engines for other companies?
Cheers

Yes they did. Or else shared the patterns/drawings. |
