[SEL] old engine photo revisited

[Dave Otto]

Hi Tom

My vote is for Sta-Rite they had round flywheels and the governor is on the
correct side for a Sta-Rite. Also see the vertical coil spring between the
two top spokes in the second picture? Sta-Rites had a speed adjuster in this
very location. They also had a cast crank guard as seen in the second
picture.

I have a nice scan of a Sta-Rite advertizing blotter that I can email to you
if you like. It is not the round flywheel version though.

Just my thoughts,

Dave

Subject: [SEL] old engine photo revisited

The first part of the month I sent you folks a photo of an old engine that  
was in my wife's family which made for lots of discussion.  For the past  
three weeks we have been going thru my wife's cousins house to get ready to 
sell  her estate.  We are the executors, and has been non stop since her 
passing  March 2.  She had no relatives and all her assets will be disposed
of.
 
We came across an old photo album and when I picked it up what fell  out 
was another photo of the same engine taken the same day in  a different
pose. 
How's that for luck!  The two flywheels  are definitely mismatched.  Pulley 
seen on the far  side.  Oiler seen on back side of engine. If that is the 
muffler on  the front side, it is almost bigger than the engine. On bottom
of 
photo is  Clayton, 2 yrs old, which is my wife's father's brother, and his 
age would date  the photo to 1919.  Very interesting stuff!  Have fun!
