Pictured here is Randy L Rockwell and son
Randy Jnr with the three R&V models produced by their business.
This engine is the 1/2 scale of a 1 horse
R&V that has the single gov wt. in flywheel. This came out
in about 1915, this version of simple construction, no brass tag
and produced to try and beat out the competition
The vertical R&V is a 5/16 scale of
the 4 HP from about 1907 and was screen cooled. The is the updated
vertical with the vertically mounted ignitor, the earlier vertical
had the horizontal ignitor.
This engine is the 5/16 scale of 1907 4
HP R&V hit and miss fly ball governed engine, screen cooled.
Would you like a model
to go with your full sized R&V or is it time that you scaled
down to something easier to carry.
