Antique Engine Database

Bates & Edmonds Motor Co.

Early Bates & Edmonds vertical engines used a cast A-frame design somewhat similar to steam engine practice. This gave easy access to the connecting rod and also resulted in exceptionally rugged construction. A unique overflow-type fuel mixer is obvious. Available also as a plain engine, the Bates & Edmonds pumper shown here was available in a 1½ horsepower model having a capacity of 900 GPH. The
4 horsepower size was capable of 2,000 gallons per hour.
