An advertisement for the H.J. Coventry 1/3HP Marine Compound engine, as it appeared in the 1970s in "Live Steam" magazine. This engine was designed in 1929 and has not been available since the time of this advertisement in the early 70s. If interested in its return, please make your desires known to me.
In 1929, H.J. Coventry designed (and made castings available for) a vertical, stationary marine engine, 1/3rd HP, 2-cylinder, compound style. Its construction was described in The Modelmaker magazine at that time, and castings advertised in same. It was described again to a new audience in the 1950s in The Miniature Locomotive magazine, and again to yet another audience in the 1970s in a series of articles that ran for a time in Live Steam Magazine.
Castings have been unavailable commercially since the 1970s.
If YOU would like drawings and castings available for this engine once again, please make your desires known to Friends. This is a nice little castings production that Friends will do in the fall of 2010 if there's any interest, prior to some bigger projects that are scheduled for 2011.
Email me if you're interested!
Thanks for looking.
