Bill,The books and authors you mention above are exceptional and in my library, other favorite Authors are Hiscox,D.Clerk,E.W. Roberts. Catalogs are a different catagory and one of my favorites is this late 1890's D.H.Heckman manufacturer of Yachts,Launches,Boats and Canoes. This has to be one of the classiest engine option lists for one Boat Manufacturer ! Notice the ring gear on flywheel to drive accessories,such as the side shaft mechanical ignition !! Which engine would any of you choose to put in your own boat back then ??? |
