English engine awards

Nov 10, 2004 1 Replies

On the ATIS list a few Americans have imported British engines. The attached has just been posted by a USA collector. As Richard Bamford is not as well as he was I thought to ask here for a reply!



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bamford is proud of the silver medal they won. I've got a couple questions on the medal they won. Was the silver medal the highest award? In today's ranking of medals, a gold medal would be first place and a silver is second place. So was Bamford proud of a second place finish (in which case I wonder who won the gold) or at that time was the silver medal the highest honor?

AFAIK the silver medal was the highest award at some shows and gold at others. I'm sure Bamford wouldnot have boasted about a second placing on their crankguards!
