Most trucks had gasoline (G) engines until the early 1960s, when multifuel (M) and diesel (D) engines were introduced. Since then diesel fuel has increasingly been used, the last gasoline engine vehicles were built in 1985. Most engines have been water-cooled with inline (I) cylinders, but V types (V) and opposed (O) engines
Morris Engines Limited was located in Coventry, England. It specialised in the mass production of engines and gearboxes for vehicles made by W. R. Morris's businesses, later known as the Nuffield Organization. Morris Engines Ltd. was, therefore, partly responsible for Morris Motors Ltd. becoming Britain's leading motor manufacturer.
The M-K TE70-4S was a four-axle 2,800 hp (2.1 MW) B-B diesel-electric locomotive built by Morrison-Knudsen. The locomotive was a rebuild of the GE U25B with a Sulzer V-12 prime mover installed. Morrison-Knudsen rebuilt four for the Southern Pacific Railroad in 1978. The experiment proved unsuccessful and no additional units were rebuilt.
Continental Motors Company was an American manufacturer of internal combustion engines. The company produced engines as a supplier to many independent manufacturers of automobiles, tractors, trucks, and stationary equipment (such as pumps, generators, and industrial machinery drives) from the 1900s through the 1960s. Continental Motors also ...
These engines were used by IHC for some heavy-duty applications until 1935, although their own large engines (525 cu in (8.6 L) FBD and 648 cu in (10.6 L) FEB) had appeared in 1932. [6] The medium-duty 1930 A-series trucks received the all-new 278.7 cu in (4.6 L) FB-3 six-cylinder engine, with overhead valves and seven main bearings.
The drive was either a BMC 3995 cc 6-cylinder K-series petrol engine with 90 bhp (67 kW) or a BMC 3.1-litre diesel engine for the light variants. For the 5 ton variant, in addition to the 4-litre petrol engine, there was also a BMC 5103 cc 6-cylinder direct injection diesel engine with 100 bhp (75 kW). [ 3 ]
For 1951 the Econ-O-Miser engine also received a higher 7.0 to 1 compression ratio (rather than the earlier 6.5), increasing power to 85 hp (63 kW). [3] The lighter two models have a three-speed, column-shifted manual transmission by Warner Gear, usually coupled to Dana rear axles. The heavier trucks were fitted with four-speed 'boxes.
The company was founded in 1915, known at first as Hercules Motor Manufacturing Company, to build industrial engines, especially for trucks. [1] [2] The company reincorporated and reorganized in 1923, emerging as Hercules Motors Corporation. Hercules expanded greatly in the interwar period, developing gas and diesel engines, serving the needs ...
