Wolverine Motor Works
The engines of the Wolverine Motor Works are in the vertical style, for both stationary and marine power, as also for car-motor service. They are of the two-cycle and four-cycle compression type, with poppet and cylinder port valves. The stationary engines are for gas or gasoline of any grade from .63 to.76 gravity. The marine engines use an injection of gasoline fluid into an air chamber, from which the vapor-and air mixture is drawn into the closed crank chamber by the upward stroke of the piston.
The junior stationary engine (Fig. 102) is of the four-cycle class, taking its charge of gas or gasoline by the suction of the piston, compressing by the upward stroke, and exploding by a tube or electric igniter. The gasoline pump as shown in the cut is operated by a bell-crank lever and roller running on an eccentric on the secondary gear. The exhaust valve is operated from a cam also on the secondary gear. The speed is controlled by a simple governor, which consists of a single bar of steel, operating by the inertia of vibration. The junior is made with single cylinders from 1 to 6 H. P., and with double cylinders of 8 and 12 H. P. |
