john1950 Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 (edited) There is a lot of information and people with really old engines on SMOKSTAK engine forum Edited January 28, 2017 by john1950 Quote
listerdiesel Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 Looks like it might be an early submarine engine, I'll post it on our engine forum with your permission? Peter Quote
terryb Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 It does look very much like the ricardo engine from WW1 for the early tanks the layout and flywheel arrangement are very similar Is that a clutch in the flywheel? Terry Quote
radiomike7 Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 Looks rather like a WW1 Ricardo 225bhp mk5 tank engine as suggested by Terry, made at the Westwood works of Perkins Engineers at Peterborough. Quote
