                          no 5260   Springwood

22493       Engine number   year   1946     Type     BGC   All Original -  runs.  It is unrestored, but still runs

                          well and we use it whenever we need larger volumes of compressed air. The compressor is a C.P.

                          3 cylinder of unknown cfm, but it is certainly substantial. The makers plate has the familiar

                          D^D marking so I assume it spent some time with the Army - located in  NSW

30942      Engine number   -    year    1948   Type      AXC      Sydney NSW  Engine is completely seized and it looks

                          like it's been buried in a river  bank, sump is full of dirt and everything looks badly rusted inside.   

                          Pulled the side cover off and found a broken connecting rod, so it looks  like the engine has failed

                          and it's probably been  discarded onsite or it's   been through a flood. Picked this up on ebay in

                          2006 from Griffith. The  guy had bought it to restore with his kids but decided not to and sell  instead.

                          Sold  this and engine 31071 together with a centrifugal irrigation   pump. Looks like this engine and

                          the pump were bought at an auction as a  single lot, not sure about 31071.
