AACA Library Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 A scrapbook literally fell into my lap today while working on a research request. It contains dozens of photos of the Olds Motor Works in Lansing of both the stationary & auto engine foundry. In addition to the foundry are pictures of "A.L. Pouleur's Chem. Lab" which looks like something right out of Frankenstein. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandy Dave Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 There was about an 8 HP Olds Stationary Engine over in the East Otis Mass Area a few years ago that was for sale. Not sure if it is still there. Very nice original condition on a wagon. Dandy Dave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bob Kerr Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 165 hp engine, cool! I bet it was an engine they were going to use in house to run line shafts. They made some large engines to use in the plant clear up to a 300hp monster with a 1.5 story tall flywheel. They also sold a few of the large engines to other factorys including large 4 cyl stationary jobs. I have a 1906 type A stationary 4.5 hp Olds. 1906 is one of the very few that can be definatly be identified by year. First year for water hopper and last year for cast connecting rod. The forge plant at Olds engine works opened in 1907and made rods for the stationarys and cars. I sure would LOVE to see that book! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
