their
vertical two cycle stationary engines in size's 1.5, 2.5, 4, 6, 7.5-8, 9-10, 11-12,
13-15, 16-18, 18.5-20 horse power. The 1.5, 4, 6hp were built as a
single cylinder single flywheel tank cooled engine. The 2.5, 4 & 6
horse power hopper cooled engines with a single flywheel were first
introduced in 1911 sporting a unique looking round tapered hopper that was
bolted to the top of the head and cylinder some times referred to as the

tank cooled engines
with two flywheels that looked almost
