Norman D Bungalyte |
Norman D Bungalyte - 150cc - 1926 This engine is a Norman 'D' driving a generator manufactured by the Arthur Lyon company of Victoria St. London and is fitted with a Vici carburetor (see 'unknown' engine below). The Norman 'D' engine was first used in the Kenilworth motor scooter produced in 1920 but not fitted with a governor (obviously required with a generator unit). The 'D' engine was also used with a compressor unit by Dunlop and was often seen on garage forecourts for pumping up tyres. Production of the 'D' engine ceased in 1926 |
| The Norman Bungalyte pictures above were kindly sent to me from some gentlemen on the 'uk.rec.engines.stationary' news group. Unfortunately I have lost the records of the owners of these pictures. If the owners were to step forward I would be pleased to either credit them or remove the pictures as required. | |

Norman D Water cooled? Another engine of mine |
This engine was listed on eBay as an unknown stationary engine. I asked a number of people (on the 'uk.rec.engine.stationary' newsgroup) if they new what it was and at the time nobody was able to offer any solid suggestions. Curiosity got the better of me and I placed a few bids for it and eventually won the auction. After some research, Roland Craven of 'Petternut' fame and Nick Highfield from the newsgroup spotted that it bore a striking resemblance to the Norman D engine (see above) although, unlike the 'D' it is not air cooled. The engine was listed in the 'Identity and Assistance' section of the 'Stationary Engine Magazine' but still there was no positive identification. Having researched the carburetor manufacturer (Vici) and the magneto manufacturer (Fellows 'Baby') I have come to the conclusion that the engine was made somewhere between 1918 and 1925 (ish). As yet I have still to run the engine as, clearly it requires cooling water and fuel tanks but there is a fat spark from the magneto so there is no reason why it should not go. |
