At one time I was told that Bill Cooper (deceased) of New York state had one. I thought Billy Wolf might have gotten it. They were good friends. |

Hi Richard,
We of Flint can only hope to find one of these for our Alfred P. Sloan, Jr. Museum or better yet, for a nice little launch on the Flint River. Thanks very much for posting the neat special advertisement. You might be interested to note that a new book (like in at the presses right now) by Michael Dixon entitled "Motormen and Yachting" has a little on Buick and others who worked in both fields. He is the grandson of none other than Ora J. Mulford of Gray fame. |

Hi Richard,
I believe Mike has the book on O. J. Mulford planned for next in line. He has already published books on the St. Clair Flats area and other maritime subjects, so he has been busy.
I will forward the site's web address directly to him. I'm in the process of reviewing it as I write this. |

There was also an "International Gas Engine Co." of Cudahy, WI which built farm and industrial 4-stroke cycle engines, ranging from 1.5 HP to 350 HP between 1909 qne 1917 under the
acronym "Ingeco". Ingeco was an arm of the Snow-Holly Steam Pump Works which built the (then) world's largest (1000+ HP) gas engines in 1901-02. Ingeco was absorbed by the Worthington Pump Co. in 1917. Any information linking Ingeco and the marine International Gas Engine Company of NY City would be much appreciated. |
