Rare Empire B42 from 1920's
« on: 11 hours ago »
Hi All, I promised I'd share the odd video, just the models I think you may be interested in. I shared a few recently with positive comments so here is a rare Empire B42 twin cylinder engine from between 1926-30
This one is particularly unusual in that it was sold under the Hotpoint brand name to the UK market and it 200 volts. I hope you like it

Don't believe I have ever seen an Empire labeled "Hotpoint" before, and a B-42 twin makes it even more unique!

Glimpses of wonderous things in the background and around the periphery in that video, suggests that there will be more amazement and viewing pleasure yet to come!!!

Ah, there are videos of those engines on the channel, but yes, I have well and truly got the bug and more engines on the way.
