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.

SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION - Trade Catalogs

STATIONARY ENGINE ENTHUSIASTS
Whatever your focus please be aware that the SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION has a lot to offer when it comes to cataloges, manuals or advertising fliers for many of the Early 1900's American Engine and Machinery Manufacturers.
Certainly The SMITHSONIAN carries a Trade Catalogue Collection that is worthy of investigation if you are researching a particular manufacturer. Their web site provides ready access and enables you to identify items of particular interest. http://www.si.edu/

NEW WAY ENTHUSIASTS - Courtesy of the Smithsonian we will soon be bringing you further New Way Motor Company documents. We are currently working on these to improve them for presentation purposes. These documents are quite old and some are showing their age. Obviously they will be watermarked with source information [ Smithsonian etc] but just as important they will provide you with a valuable resource as restorer or historian to become better aquainted with the manufacturer of these excellent early 1900s engines.
WHAT'S COMING
Manuals, Catalogs, Fliers, and other New Way Motor Company literature are all in the pipeline and all courtesy of the Smithsonian Institution. eg New Way Vertical Twin (EH)
APPRECIATION
Smithsonian Institution appreciates your support. Documents they are providing are only available because of the foresight and planning of others. To show your appreciation we invite you to go to their site and make a donation.

Enjoy the NEW WAY experience
