Another exibit of considerable interest was that of the Buffalo Gasolene Motor Company of Buffalo, which showed an assortment of its engines ranging in horsepower from 2 to 40. The engines are completely water-jacketed for cooling. They are fitted with mechanically operated valves and have one-piece steel forged cranks. The company showed a two horsepower engine, the smallest two-cylinder four-cycle engine in the world. Including the flywheel and all its fixings, its weight is but 137 pounds.
