I have planned to post over a period of time as a flood does not bring relief to the problem of broken motors (see Rob's post under Blaxland).
Kevin,for the 'Record' I can only find one pic so far which appears below.
Lets start with that and a front cover from 1936 on Chapman motors .  |

No mention of the marvellous Simplex yet? I had one intending to build a boat round it but foolishly allowed myself to be talked into selling it. This is a pic of another that was in the boat Nocatchem  |

What is the advantage of placing the flywheel on the prop end of the engine? |

You can use the hub of the flywheel as part of the clutch assembly ,this helps shorten up the overall length of the motor and clutch assembly .Handy in a very small boat. Also if you stall the prop on a log or rope , you are not trying to stop the mass of the fly wheel through a spindly little crank shaft and turning it into a pretzel. some of these little aussie motors only had 3/4 inch cranks. |

On the down side it made putting the starting strap on a bit of a pain ,and the fly wheel went deeper into the bilge making more susceptible to flick up bilge water. |

I've been off the air for a while. Would it be possible for posters to have ads in a larger size, as the text is hard to read if too small.

harrone, I think we have strayed a little from what I intended. The ads should be for marine engines only, as this is a marine engine site, and for Australian made engines.

Hall Brothers go back to 1891, but the first H-B engine I have found is in 1932. Last ad found in 1939.

The HB looks like a Stover DV2. Also sold as a Regal in the US.

As far as I have been able to tell HB sold rebadged engines which were often from Invincible.
Invincible also sold rebadged engines as well as their own. Quite a few of these rebadged engines were Stovers and sometimes they were plated as Invincible-Stover.
The Fairfield engine was also marinised by Invincible. http://www.oldmarineengine.com/discus/messages/3454/141890.html

After the above comments, I have looked at Hall engines more closely.
The ad for the single says it is made in Australia, which was probably true. It doesn't say they made it. That was something that I had previously assumed. Doing a new Trove search shows that they advertised as machinery merchants, not manufacturers.
The twin does look like a Stover. The ad doesn't say it was made in Australia for what I can now see is a very good reason.
