Hi Paul
This is an important post for many reasons ...
Many thanks for the great images ... it's hard to find Boundy
engine images taken from the inside!
I was shocked to see the crankshaft - in that the magnets seem so
crudely placed and ill-formed! I wonder if this had anything to do
with evidence of de-laminating of the crankshaft on early engines?
Your commentary is priceless for the Boundy record.
I mean, the internally placed oil seals and - most of all - your connecting
the JAP design to Boundy. That is a first!!!
I will add this ...
We now have clear evidence that Victa, Pope and now Boundy took inspiration
from UK and Euro engine makers for their own AUS designs!
Brilliant!
