[SEL] Junkers 2HK65 at an engine rally in Germany

[Elden DuRand]

Peter:

I can believe that 2-stroke Diesels make the majority of the industrial power in the world.

I wonder exactly when F-M started manufacturing their O.P. engines?  I believe they were used in U.S. WWII naval shipping and subs.

Take care - Elden
