                   LISTING OF ADS, FLIERS AND ASSOCIATED EPHEMERA



Earliest ad found thus far .... March 1978:

[ Guests cannot view attachments ]

Note that the engine base shown is that of the Davies Charlton Hot Air Engine with separate rectangular burner, and not the Solar Engines style built in round burner, along with small diameter cooling fins on displacer cylinder and fence not continuous all the way around engine, along with other features!


Next earliest ad found  ..... July 1978:

The image now is showing the correct Solar Engines base with built in round burner, large diameter cooling fins on displacer cylinder and fence is continuous around the engine, as well as other details consistent with the newly modified revisions to the engine!
