Hello,
I hope someone can recognise this plan and tell me the source. It came with a set of part-machined brass castings that I recently got, and I assume that it came from an old ME or similar publication. No real clues as to the date, but I am pretty sure it wasnt recent. The castings (including spares) are good enough but not to the high standard I would expect from a modern commercial product, so are possibly home produced. The text at the bottom says Detail drawings of the simple vertical marine engine, reproduced three-quarters full size. A handwritten note found on a second copy of the plans indicates that a triple-cylinder version was intended, but no indications of such a version appear in the page.
Can anybody help?
Thanks in advance, Bruce
