I just came across another engine with the same monogram. I have attached pictures.

I read the attached reference to the Acme automobile . I tried to find the articel in the December 1900 edition of Cycle and Automobile Trade Journal, but it is not available online. Would  member RRC have any more details on it.

Thanks
