MochetVelo Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) Here is a single-cylinder Orient engine with its aluminum friction-drive disc. Orient was a predecessor to the Metz company. I think this would have been used on a buckboard-type car, circa 1903 or so. I took the photos recently at a visit to an engine collector. Metz adopted the Orient and Waltham designs for his own cars.Phil Edited April 3, 2014 by MochetVelo (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Albright Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 That is a 1906-08 4 HP engine with its friction drive transmission flywheel,like on a Metz. 1903-05 motors were gear driven,and mounted sideways in the back of the car,not front to back like this.

jolbermann Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 I am looking for a hand crank for a 4 HP Orient engine like this or a drawing of one so that I could fabricate one. Also, an original Longuemare carburetor or source for one and any specs or service information. Any help is greatly appreciated!
