There was a two cylinder, inverted vee engine at Calvert that fascinated everyone.
In the current issue of Nautical Research Journal, Vol. 48, No. 3, there is a long article about Andrew Jackson Pierce and his marine engines. It would seem the upside down vee engine is a Pierce made ca 1899 according to the article.
He filed for his first patent for his engines in 1893 and eventually had a large company making both engines and boats. That company eventually morphed into the J.I. Case farm machinery company.
Much info and pictures in the article including a large bibliography of the sources of info about him and his comppanies which were located in Racine, WI |

How would someone get a copy of the article? A reprint from June 1899,"American Machinist" list the engine as a Racine.
