Still looking for names or any literature for these engines, Thanks!


Most of these can be made into running or are running engines, but if anyone has any literature or pictures of what the "original" parts should look like, please get a hold of us.
thanks,

Gleason, Bailey & Scipple
This little engine was made in Syracuse, NY but was sold by an agent in Philadelphia, PA (or at least that`s what`s casted on the side of the engine). It`s missing both the crankshaft gear & the cam gear. It`s also missing the original carburetor & ignition contacts. Any ideas??

Thomson & Sons

This one came in a little ruff & missing a few parts (like usual). We got the nameplate though, it`s a Thompson & Sons made in Wisconson. If anyone out there has a picture of what the ignitor trip looks like, also the gover weights, fuel pump, carburetor (I think that`s all) looks like please get a hold of us. There`s a few verticle T&S`s around but all I`ve seen are the model after this which are completely different engines with over head valves.

 



BELOW: This is a wild little engine. The picture was taken not long after I got it (it came thru the US mail). It's a small inverted 4-cylinder "Hit & Miss" engine. The governor shifts all 4 cams sideways & each of the 4 valve rollers climb up on a "high" cam & lock out. Not sure how good this thing is going to run but we'll definately try it. It has piston touch ignitors on each cylinder & the outside insultor is missing on each. It's also missing the original carburation. Some wierd stuff about the engine is there is no water jacket (or air cooling fins?) & there is no mounting holes drilled on the engine frame...It looks like it clamped into something? Any help identifying this is appreciated, thanks!

 

 

One set of the engine's piston & rods. There's an electrode that sticks out from the middle of each piston for igniton. It's also got ball joints for wrist pins which is kinda unusual.
