Rough age of Crossley engines
.
Sometimes I found myself in a situation, where I wanted to know the rough age of a certain Crossley engine. So I made an overview of engine data, that I had collected or that where published in the literature etc. For a larger view please click on the diagram. This is not perfectly exact, but it is better than nothing. For the exact engine age of course it is better to contact the specialists of the SEM or Anson Engine Museum.

This is a manual of the small diesel engines, sizes HD 3 ... HD 7:
It implies too many pages for this place, but if someone needs it I can send it.

This address dates from the end of the 1930s.
