Ruston Information

My Club went out with a low loader and mobile crane on the weekend and picked up a Ruston & Hornsby twin cylinder Size 8 class HRCE serial no

225125 engine. Can someone please supply any dating info for this engine? We have been told it was used in the Northern Territory on a large generator before being sent back to agents for refurbishment, a new lighter flywheel, then sent up the Murray on a paddle boat and installed as a pumping engine near Swan Hill Victoria. regards Jim

I would date that engine to sometime in 1943 - number 223776, an HR of unknown size was dispatched to Asiatic Petroleum, Mauritius on 19 March 1943.
