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.

The New Way Poet

 EASTER 
Celebration Time

Easter, that time of year Christians hold dear as we remember the life, message and sacrifice of Christ. A message that almost singularly, and truly brings hope, faith, promise and certain love in a very mixed up world.

Celebrate .. Celebrate.. Celebrate
Yes : A "New Way" of living : A New Life

At the end of the day, the pen and speech have always been more powerful than the sword. Wars come and go, people suffer and die but the words and messages of promise carry with them a lasting strength.

LIBRARY NEWS

Ø       We have recently added 2 more 4 page documents to the library - the Abbott and the Wood
    • The brochure from Walter A Wood is our first UK company document, originating from Sussex England. 
    • Walter A Wood re-badged "New Way" as a "Wood". We do have an example of these registered in the registry.
    • The "Abbott" four page leaflet was produced for E. H. ABBOTT, LAMBERTVILLE, N. J. and includes the industrially provocative, excellent poetry you see below.

Ø       We expect a New Way Horizontal Twin Instruction should be available soon 


The New Way Poet
We have located a "New Way"  poem which we want to share and it expresses eminently style and belief about an efficient simplicity in the "New Way Engine" . This can also be downloaded from the library as part of the original 4 page "Abbott" document. Please enjoy.



WE GREET YOU AT "THE FAIR."


An Air Cooled Engine came to the Fair,
And a prosperous farmer saw it there.
He winked his eye and cast a smile,
And then suggested " I like your style."


The Engine answered, "my name's New Way,
I'm coming to see you and spend the day."
The day was spent in pleasant toils,
The Farmer reaping all the spoils.


The Air Cooled Engine is with him yet,
On the Roll of Honor, the farmer's pet.
Powerful, simple, strong, but light,
It lightens his burden day and night.

It's brothers came to the neighborhood
And promised the farmers they'd be good,
We'll grind your feed and saw your wood,
And all your labor digest for food.

And as you breathe, we cool by air,
There is plenty of it everywhere.
I met my master at "The Fair," 
I came to answer the farmer's prayer.


The old style engine is on its way
With a water tank like a load of hay.
And a mass of troublesome leaky pipes,
And a jacket to freeze and burst at night.


It's going homeward, but it don't know where,
For it's made so many farmers swear;
It's a dead one, it's had it's day,
So keep it moving, the farmers pray.
....................................

Remember the full document is available for download from the library. 
If you have a New Way Engine to register just send us  engine details and a couple of pictures to:   geo.covey@gmail.com

Have a Great New Way Day.

Advertising Release - A 20 page Booklet


Hello from New Way Station.

We have been doing quite a bit of research and thought it may be good to point out how important advertising is in determining what happened within a company and what key events may have been that had significant effect on it's production. eg wars 

RECORDS
New Way Motor Company records may be in short supply but we certainly can't say that about their advertising. What does advertising tell us - many things
ADVERTISING
Consequently, well researched, New Way Advertising is an excellent method of :
  • Determining what was available to the market place including incentives and restrictions
  • Determining when models were introduced or changed. eg
      • Twins Change from Radial Finned Cylinder Cooling to fully cylindrical and back again
      • Twins change from Hitt Miss Governing to Throttle Governing
      • Twins go from single to Dual Carburetors
  • Determining what was used in a particular field
      • Reliable, Light and powerful for ride operators
      • Multifunctional for farmers
      • What size was used on drilling rigs
      • What size was used on Spray Plants or Concrete plants
  • Determining what companies fitted New Way Products to their machines and why? eg.
      • Light engines on binders
      • Compact for Lighting Plants eg Marco Electric
We have just added another Booklet to the New Way Library ready for download. There are some really excellent adverts formatted to fit A4 size pages. The uniqueness of some of these adverts make them great to have. This example of advertising/testimony for Carnival Ride Operators compliments of FultonHistory from the "BillBoard" is just one example. It's clear and easily read when printed. Enjoy!!

The 20 page booklet is Advertising Booklet No 4
