New Way Engine Horizontal Twin Instructions

TAKING THE BULL BY THE HORNS
We have decided to assemble a New Way Twin Instruction based on the format of previous new way instruction booklets and make it available for free download from the New Way Library site.

WHY - Many owners of New Way Horizontal Twins have engines but no instruction specific to their engine format. Do we think the originals are extinct, NOT at all, but they may be a threatened species and they certainly aren't available to us at this time.

A Dynosaur Project - Definitely not - The principles that the New Way Motor Company introduced and developed are amply evident in the air cooled engines of today. In producing these documents we will endeavor to bridge time to ensure there is clear understanding of the pioneering and engineering developments that were at the core of New Way Motor Company's engines.

WHEN - We already have a lot of information that is very applicable to hand we just don't have the original documents. Assembly is very time consuming and we envisage producing one for the early 6-7 and 7 Hp models and another for the 8 & 12Hp models in both Hitt - Miss and Throttle governed engines. There is referencing to consider and sort through so it will not be a quick process.

WHAT - Do you have any material on the Horizontal Twins that you can help us with we would be very appreciative. What sort of things?

• Documents
• Descriptive information
• Partial Twin Instruction manuals how ever small a part. 

Just email it to us so we can sort and assemble into a very informative well rounded instruction manual.
geo.covey@gmail.com  We would love to hear from you.

ORIGINAL - In the beginning there was the "NEW WAY TWIN WORD" and it was available to all who would cherish and purchase a New Way Twin Engine. Then came the passage of time and those who had, lost, and even others sold, still others had, but did not make known. We remain in the passage, yet the passage may still be long and tedious. One day an original will appear and the owners will rejoice that the original has finally been revealed to all owners. In the mean time we will be patient till the original is revealed and work with what we know.

It's close to Christmas
Remember the reason for the season

New Way Engine Registry and Library

NOVEMBER 1st NEWS - October has been a busy month with good growth in the Registry and the library. Much of the library growth can be contributed to the generosity of the Smithsonian Trade Libraries and also to an apparent non new way enthusiast to whom we are deeply grateful. (Poster)
REGISTRY - About 10 New Way engines have been registered from accross a range of models. Arizona USA  joined the registry with three motors and the total now stands at 214 registered World Wide.
LIBRARY - Several documents have been added recently. I will try to give some pertinent notes on these. Many interesting documents to help with New Way Engine Restoration.

• C-120 A 16 page mailer catalog compliments of Smithsonian Libraries.
• 8-12 Hp Twins with the circular finning to the top (no radial fins)
• Jewel (1.5 / 2.5 Hp) - larger Hp Jewels were produced later
• Claimed as a heavy duty engine
• Standard Verticals including the fairly recently introduced 6Hp model
• Ordering and shipping tables
• ART NOUVEAU POSTER  A single page poster in art nouveau style depicting sawing in the Yucon and Sheep Shearing in Australian summer heat. Watermarked to protect the owners original works. That said this is a beautiful piece.
• 1909 - 1913 INTERNATIONAL TESTIMONIAL - This folds into an 8 sided document and by testimony enthuses about the New Way Motor Company line in general ( Compliments of Smithsonian Libraries)
• EC4-100  WHY BUY THE NEW WAY - Short promotional illustrating the Horizontal Twin ( Compliments of Smithsonian Libraries)
• O38 11 JEWELS 1.5 and 2.5 Hp Superiority promotion or the 2 jewels available. ( Compliments of Smithsonian Libraries)

LIBRARY DOCUMENTS
The Smithsonian Libraries have courtesly provided many documents from The New Way Motor Company  from their TRADE LIBRARY resources and allowed us to make them available to you for non commercial use.

AVAILABLE [Smithsonian]
Great documents from the New Way Motor Company covering a wide range of years. New Way Motor Company targeted their market well with their advertising and brochures.

LIBRARY (4 New Releases) - free download !!!

• D20 CATALOG - Covers the New Way Multipurpose Engine and is sectionally written in Spanish, French and English. A beautiful document of 32 pages. Text is original size, you may need to print to fit to make the most of this excellent piece of literature. 
• 365 Day Kerosene Engine (Series M) Flier - A short flier promoting the kerosene Series M engine for its advantages and year round viability when compared to a dedicated gasoline motor.
• New Way Saw Rig -  A 2 page flier promoting the New Way Twin Engine Saw Rig. Optional engine fitments are openly stated allowing the farmer/commercial enterprise to taylor their order to their specific requirements.

Enjoy and Enthuse.

These documents give a lot of understanding and background to the "New Way Motor Company" as they negotiated the challenges and changes that were driving forces in the economy of the day. Their's was a time of social upheaval from WW1 along with probable unprecedented mechanical advancement. The diversification of uses, of the Internal Combustion engine was at a crossroads as men pitted their minds to solve confronting problems. For some the simple P.T.O. (Power Take Off) would be a revolution that spelt challenge or disaster. New Way Motor Company was NOT immune to these forces of enterprise.

New Way Buzz Coil Ignition

WE HAVE IGNITION
You might have guessed this is in part Tribute to Neil Armstrong and his band of Space Travellers.
Buzz Coils (Buzz Aldrin was there Too!!) 

New Way Motor Company prided themselves like our space travellers in having the best when it came to reliability in the ignition department.

• Ist choice High Tension Magneto Ignition.
• Bosch - Various models
• National
• Later Models - Eisemann flywheel Magneto
• 2nd choice Low Tension Magneto Ignition combined with 4 New Way Dry cells with a buzz coil
• New Way L.T. Magneto (essentially a rebadged Wizard L.T. Magneto
• Magnetos were friction driven off the Large Flywheel
• L.T. Magnetos had a weighted, sprung governor to prevent over revving of the magneto. 
• Over-revving would increase the voltage and effect the buzz coil operation/adjustment since there is no other means of voltage regulation.
• The engine could be started on cells and buzz coil then switched over to L.T. Magneto and Buzz Coil
• 3rd choice stand alone 4 New Way Dry cells with a buzz coil
• Cheapest original purchase option but the dearest to run because of cell replacement.
• Very prone to failure in frosty cold conditions. 

Quality being a foremost consideration at least 2 models of Buzz coil were produced

• Buzz Coil Model "L"
• Tuned or adjusted for Dry Cell Working
• Buzz Coil Model "LM"
• Tuned or adjusted for L.T. Magneto {Dynamo} Working

The Dynamo will produce in the order of 6 volts D.C. ripple unlike the four dry cells that produce 6 Volts D.C.

• I do not know the difference in electrical characteristics of the buzz coils
• The boxes look the same in virtually every aspect including size.
• Different Magnetic Flux characteristics probably drove the need to produce two units to achieve "Best performance" 
• The brass Tag readily tells them apart

New Way Engine Configuration to Cancer Council Rally

New Way Motor produced at various stages of their production runs, 4 basic Engine configurations covering a horse power range from 1 to 12Hp.
These were:-

1. Single Cylinder Vertical
2. Twin Cylinder Horizontal
3. Single Cylinder Horizontal
4. Twin Cylinder Vertical

REGISTRY CHART

An Engine Configuration chart has been added to the Registry page to highlight the number of motors registered in each of these four major configurations. Twin verticals are well in the minority. Here is a current example of the chart.

Off to the end of the EARTH - I've joined the Cancer Council "Shitbox" Rally covering 4 states of Australia - desert runners. Australia - that country where a ranch [Cattle Station] can be bigger than the US state of Texas. For those of you who may be culturally challenged by the descriptive name of the rally, simply put, the cars in the rally must be old ($1000) vehicles but roadworthy. (old cars with walking sticks - the garbage end of the sales yard) Contractually if you turn up in a car obviously worth more than $1000 you are given a dollar for it and disqualified. (no fancy competitor cars in this one) We spend much of our time on dirt roads much of which has been flooded recently and we even have about 12 meter desert dunes to negotiate. [Bogs and Sand] To see more about it have a look at the official rally website that also has a link if you want to donate to the fight cancer cause (not the rally itself).

Myself - Driving the Ambulance. No $1000 wreck for me. Should be a great rally of 1000s of miles, much in the desert or the outback - bush/scrub/forest/rain forest. I'd say breakdowns all the way - driving Australia's wild front ear. Davey Crocket would have been proud of the Land Down Under. He'd probably even recognise the rig - FORD F250.  As you can see there are radio aerials all over the rig - all for the outback run - even the RFDS are on the waves. (Royal Flying Doctor Service). These are the fly in fly out doctors of Outback Australia where a doctor is probably rarer than a flea on a tick's back.

There are 200 cars and about 7 support vehicles of various types including the one I am driving.
Have a look at the site and see something of the Aussie Down Under - where roads would be rivers and rivers can be well over 20 - miles wide for mile upon mile.
The rally will be blogged so you can follow the experience. It starts on the Aussie morning of 13 April. Hope you can follow - it should be a great experience photos/videos?


Enjoy
