Elmer's 33 Mill Engine is a farily typical convential engine of the type used to power many different mills in the past. This is a slightly
larger engine than most of the previous plans. It's large enough that you'll have room enough to use either the bearing block as a
bearing, or press in an oilite bushing or even a ball bearing. The piston in the prototype was made of teflon, though brass or bronze
can certainly be used.
The three engines pictured were all built by John Somers. The first engine is an
original 33 built to the plans, the second engine is a scaled
up 33, 50% larger than the plans. The third engine is a typical mill engine, but not an "Elmer".
John Somers runs a very nice website with lots more information about the engines he builds. Click on his logo below to visit him there.
