Title: Re: Twin Cylinder Oscillating Engine Part 6
Post by: Tony Bird on November 24, 2022, 02:01:31 am

Hi Daniel,

 I think you are right, a water pump with one clack missing, the spring holding the end of its piston against the eccentric, never seen one like it, not sure how well it might work with only a 1/8" bore, 7/32" stroke which along with horizontal clacks wouldn't deliver much water for a twin cylinder 3/4" bore, 1.1/4" stroke engine.

 Mystery solved I think. thanks

 Take care Tony.

Tony, could your mystery parts be a pump, the unretained T-headed shaft (piston) of which is retained by the copper-colored eccentric in the center of the flywheel axle?
