[SEL] engine ident.

[Ken Christison]

Blaine,

Go to: http://www.oldiron-nut.com/ihc-numbers/ihc-5-a.jpg
and you will find your engine listed as a 1 HP Famous Spray
engine built in 1912.  These were coupled to a Myers spray
pump.  According the Wendel's "150 Years of IHC Engines"
these were Titan engines.

John Hammink will probably have more to add.

Take care.

Ken
