[SEL] M/V engines

[Patrick M Livingstone]

While we are on MV engines: Does anyone know who made these engines for MV:

They are almost identical to the Blackstone vertical but there are enough
differences to suggest someone other than Blackstone may have made them for
MV. I have heard all sorts of theories but nothing concrete.
The MV sales ledger that I have only cover Ronaldson-Tippett built engines
so it is no help on this one.

Hi Eric,
I have just spoken to an old employee of M/V who lives near here and he 
tells me that they definitely made their own water cooled engines at a 
factory in Epsom Road Rosebery in Sydney.The castings were made by a firm in

Mascot and all the machining was done in their own factory.
I may be able to get more detail from him when I next see him.
