wayne sheldon Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Interesting photo. Can't tell if the engines (some of them?) are connected to the dynamos or not. But most of what I can see, the engines aren't anywhere near ready to run. They may at this point be set up for the dynamo to turn the engine for a break-in period before the spark plugs, carburetors, and distributors are installed? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prewarnut Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 I noticed that too. The engines in the center are not connected and seem to be awaiting connection. None have spark plugs and no provisions for attaching coolant or containing exhaust - even in the room. Also from the sheer number and compressed arrangement I'd say that these were not "run" actively but some sort of passive test to break-in and perhaps score cylinders with further testing later. This is different than the Locomobile factory engine testing photo I posted in that section a few weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
