And a Petter 'S' for an auxiliary engine ( which may or may not now be working)

Would love to have that as a setup.

The book "from Munktell to Valtra" which is a history of the Valtra Tractor company mentions a connection with Bolinder. A merger with Bolinder and Munktell in the 1930's. The brothers Carl Gerhard and Jean Bolinder had established a machine shop and foundry at Stockholm in 1844. The first Sewdish serial-made internal combustion engine was started at the Bolinder factory in 1893. Later the firm introduced a 2 cycle raw oil engine that became a popular product.

I'd be interested to see a picture of the Pollocks plate, if at all possible.

I'm trying to make a design for a replacement Pollocks builders' plate for my little tug, I know approximately what was on the plate but hoping to get the right style for the period.

If you have a picture, any chance you could email it if you can't post it on here?

 

Thanks

Thought this was worth adding to the list of boats with bolinders

The Yavari in Peru

Has a 4 cylinder e typer 1914 bolinder in biggest of its type its 320bhp still working!

With reference to the above engine this may be an interesting link - http://tkitching.livejournal.com/7264.html

narrow boats - CLENT, DANE, DRAGON, FERRET, GEORGE, PEACOCK, SPEY, STOUR, UMEA, WORCESTER - off the top of my head, so there are sure to be a few more - and CLENT, FERRET, GEORGE and PEACOCK are certainly not running with their original Bolinder http://www.canalworld.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/#EMO_DIR#/captain.gif

Worcester i beleve isnt a bolly from new im sure it was a KROMHOUT (not sure of spelling) when she was built but then after had a bolly fitted. But is as far as i know still has its original bolly fitted. Edited November 20, 2016 by billybobbooth

WORCESTER and GEORGE were of course Kromhout powered from new, although both were refitted with Bolinder's whilst still in trade

Well you can scrub dane off this list now, as she's now had her bolly removed for Linda.
