Hi, Folks,

I'm just an occasional visitor but thanks so much for the opportunity to view a Gorham marine engine.

Here's info on the company. It's a missing info on the Wikipedia article, but Mr. Gorham developed and patented the centrifugal water pump setup for fire engines with Seagrave. He had many other US patents (mostly on marine engines) before moving to Japan, i.e, he was a bonafide top rate American engineer/business owner back in the old day. He also brought his aero-engine to Japan after he lost a US government bid on it over the famed Liberty engine. Japan's heavy industry was very fortunate having him under her wing.
