[SEL] Engines at State Archives

[Peter Lowe]

Hi all
Just found by accident and probably you Aussie collectors already know about 
it, a web site called Picture Australia which is linked the NSW State 
Library and others.
I did a search on Moffat Virtue and found this page:
http://www.pictureaustralia.org/apps/pictureaustralia?term1=moffat+virtue&loc1=&attribute1=any+field&op6=and&mode=search

One of the photos is this one, it is a large photo but take the time to load 
it if on Dialup (200Kb) and read carefully the sign on the engine in the 
cage.
Balanced on four glasses only and not bolted down and running. I have one of 
these V2 2hp MV engines which were only offered for a few years before the 
V3 series MV engines in 2 1/4hp & 3hp took over. My little 2hp also runs 
like a clock, so does the V3 3hp.

Also searches on other models below take you to the Victorian State Library, 
The War Memorial site, South Australian Library etc:
Baltic Simplex Engine
Ronaldson Tippett Engine
Crossley Engine
Sundial  Engine (heaps of photos)
Rosebery Engine
Buzacott Engine
Lister  Engine (1918 war in Palestine)
IHC engine
and you can find the rest, the spelling and search is exact so be careful 
how you search, try differences, singualr and plural for engine/s
