I saw a two cylinder four cycle Holiday inboard
here with about 2 pictures. It was about 10 days ago. Anyone have any idea what the title of the thread was and where I could locate it??
Thanks

Tom, the Holliday is my engine, the pictures are from the first show after I restored it. I haven't heard any comments on it, don't know if no one knows about them or no one was paying attention. It's a great running engine, starts immediatley with a bounce back against compression and idles below 200 rpm. The only written info I've found so far is a letter head from Octave LaMulle, boat builder and seller of Holliday Marine Engines, dated Jan. 31, 1913. He was probably the man that sold this engine as he was located in Patterson, LA and the engine came from Bayou Chene, LA. I'll try to get some better pictures posted. J.B. |

This ad is from 1906 rudder magazine, I have seen a few other ads for Holliday engines and also for
their reverse gears! |

Thanks for the ad Richard, I'm trying to get an idea of how long these engines were produced, I now have 1906 and 1913. J.B. |

JB,
Thanks. Can you give me something I can search on at OME to find the original thread and see the pictures? I have a buddy who wants to see it.
Thanks

ohhh this is about holliday engines.... Geeeeeeeeeeee and here i was thinking maybe we were gonna have a show & tell about our holidays.
My last holiday was to Adelaide via Broken Hill and return along the Murray river where there are some wonderful old engines and other gear. At Mannum is preserved the first steamboat boiler used in Australia... wow.. i was totally in awe...made by a local blacksmith in 1853... I also had a chat with Pearl Wallace tho at the time i thought she was just an elderly local with a very good understanding of Australian paddlesteamers...Oh & the highlight of my holiday was to drive an antique toastrack tram at adelaide tramway museum...( just too much nostalgia for me) |
