New Way Stationary Engines

Aim - To serve and support the New Way Stationary Engine restoration community.
There was a New Way Stationary Motor inclined to Hit and Miss. It was designed that way but intermittently it would missfire and this in the confines of the beekeepers shed fired my imagination, grabbing my senses. I just loved the sound of the New Way 3.5Hp working - likely fuelled by a too rich mixture.
With each missfire came the tell tale puff of blue smoke and via the old sawbench, the beekeeping manufacturing business was underway, alive and well. Alf was in his element. Romance, nah, hard work but Hoots the New Way went a long way in firing the imagination of times past running in the present. The present, after all, that's where life is, it's not in the past, but romancing the past, that's the present if you're living it.
The priveledge of life. Present and past is now!!! - alive.

New Way Engine Registry and Library

NOVEMBER 1st NEWS - October has been a busy month with good growth in the Registry and the library. Much of the library growth can be contributed to the generosity of the Smithsonian Trade Libraries and also to an apparent non new way enthusiast to whom we are deeply grateful. (Poster)
REGISTRY - About 10 New Way engines have been registered from accross a range of models. Arizona USA  joined the registry with three motors and the total now stands at 214 registered World Wide.
LIBRARY - Several documents have been added recently. I will try to give some pertinent notes on these. Many interesting documents to help with New Way Engine Restoration.
