Clarendon Rally- Australia
Stationary Engine
|April 2018
Whilst on a recent trip to visit my family in Australia I took the opportunity to visit, with my son, the well known Clarendon Classic, Machinery, Truck and Hobby Show, which has been held for many years at the Hawkesbury Showgrounds, on Racecourse road, Clarendon, NSW on the weekend of the 16/17th September 2017.
This site is some 50 kms to the west of the city of Sydney, nearly in the shadow of the famous Blue Mountains; it is easy to get to via the train from Sydney’s Central Station, alighting at the Richmond Station, which is adjacent to the rally grounds, just a five minutes walk away.
The event is organised by the Sydney Antique Machinery Club. The 2017 themes were 100 years of Fordson Tractors and 150 years of R A Lister and Co Ltd.

Lister Conundrum?
Back in 2016 a discussion took place on Fozzer’s Forum about early Lister J type engines; as I have a very early Lister 2 ½ hp, I was interested and took part in the discussion. I have always had an interest in Lister engines, having nine in my shed, all of which are restored, except a spec 52 Lister A. I had never delved into the history of these engines as I considered that just about everything was known about them, through the work done by the late David Edgington, and information is readily available.

Coventry Victor Stationary/Marine Engines
Following a comment in the January edition of Stationary Engine, that Coventry Victor engines were rarely seen on our rally fields and as I have a liking for these engines (and flat twins), I have put together a short article based on my three examples.

Turner Manufacturing Co- Simplicity Engines
Having seen the little vertical Simplicity engine on the front cover of the October 2017 issue of Stationary Engine, where the name Western Malleable & Gray Iron Company, Milwaukee cast into the flywheel rim, is clearly legible, I decided the manufacturer required further investigation

Petter Standard Oil Engine
I am sure that the Petter Handyman engine will be a familiar sight to many engine enthusiasts, but the same cannot be said for the ‘Petter Standard Oil Engine’; the engine on which the Handyman engine was designed.
