| Didn't Allis build a new factory just to make these in Terra Haute Indiana but never really got it up to full production? |

Yup. I was at the Planes of Fame museum in Chino CA this summer. They got a B-17 project in work. I was chatting with a volunteer guy there, I mentioned I like old tractors, have some Allis-Chalmers. Before you know it I am looking up at the turbocharger. He said spin this, it's 60 years old and smooth as silk. Allis knew how to build 'em. |

they also made belt driven superchargers, I cant remember which aircraft they were in. I think GE and Ford made similar ones for the same application. A small company in Dodge city KS repurposed them for portable bin fans, so we see them occasionally, we only bid on them if they are allis though. :) ------------- Gleaner: the properly engineered and built combine. If you need parts for your Gleaner, we are parting out A's through L2's, so we may be able to help. |

No Dale, If I can't drive it or pull it, I'm not interested.

Just as an example the Wright R-1820-97 on the B-17 developed 1200HP from 9 clyinders totaling 1823 Cubic Inches of displacement. Somehow Creston, I don't think the little SP100 would even turn the wheel!  ------------- Still in use: HD7 WC C CA WD 2-WD45 WD45LP WD45D D14 3-D17 D17LP 2-D19D D19LP 190XTD 190XTLP 720 D21 220 7020 7030 7040 7045 3-7060 Projects: 3-U UC 2-G 2-B 2-C CA 7-WC RC WDLP WF D14 D21 210 7045 N7 |
