Model (E A Myers) produced a wide array of engines 1903-1924/27. A 1906 ad referred to air-cooled types, to hor-opposed types, water cooled 4cyl verticals 25 to 60 HP, 1cyl stat'rys 2 to 100 Hp, and 4cyl stat'ry and marine 15 to 500 HP.

Reportedly their engines were in many early cars, and possibly trucks, altho I've not seen one mention in a truck. They're in a few orphan tractors in the teens and early/mid 20s. But they don't even show up in any of my older parts catalogs (1917, 24,25,30 etc).

Presumeably they furnished engines to many assemblers who claimed their "own" engines.

Can anyone here fill me in on how widely their engines were used, in cars or anything else??

Any comments appreciated. Many thxx!! Bud
