[SEL] Lorenz & Benz Register Totals

[Best, George]

Arnie,

Just curious if you could say how many Lorenz and Benz engines are in
the U.S.?

I'm guessing the majority in your registery are outside the U.S.

George

Ps... and yes I was surprised you were able to provide the below
information so quickly.
Good work!

Hi George,

I'll bet you thought you weren't gonna get a response.  8-))

You are correct, the total numbers (98) of the HIGH QUALITY Lorenz and
Benz engines
are far smaller than those COMMON Australs; only about one tenth as many
known.
8-))  Plus for the Czech engines we totally lack any sort of factory
data.

Lorenz Engines - 58 total
3-4 hp   - 32
4-5 hp   - 8
4-6 hp   - 2
3 hp     - 4
3-3.5 hp - 1
4 hp     - 1
Unknown  - 9

Benz Engines - 40 total
3-4 hp  - 12
3-5 hp  - 1
4-5 hp  - 13
4-6 hp  - 2
5-6 hp  - 4
5-7 hp  - 1
8-10 hp - 1
3 hp    - 1
4 hp    - 1
5 hp    - 1
Unknown - 3

So if anyone on the lists has a Lorenz or Benz engine (or knows of one),
please send
me the details (and photos if possible).

Vertical governors 'eh?  That'll be a first for the Lorenz & Benz
register!  I do
have two early ones that are ignitor fired and one really old diesel
Lorenz.  I
think those are the most odd in the register to date.

See ya,  Arnie
