I hope you will forgive an off topic request but there is a lot of historical brain power posting here! Anyone know anything about the Hercules gas engine company? My museum has a cira 1910 model with 2 36" flywheels. May be San Francisco origin or from elsewhere? Any books to look at? ted_miles@nps.gov |

Not so far off as you think, I'm pretty sure Hercules made engines for Vulcans and other critters. superheater@rrmail.com |
