Richard D or anyone helpful: I'm not having any more luck finding what happened to Automatic than I am Westman; the latest reference so far is 1922 or so, altho some of my catalogs list 33-34 Automatic engines.
Does anyone know, just off the top of their head, what became of Automatic?? Any comments appreciated. Many thxx!! Bud

This 1925 ad is the latest I find on a quick look ? after late 1925 Automatic Mach Co. is listed in the magazine indexs but no page number-meaning that the Co. did not submit an ad, after 1927 the Co's. name does not show up in any indexes ? Company could very well still be mfgring engines but certainly shut down advertising ?

Richard: Many thx for addt'l info--that's the only ad I've seen that refers to heavy oil engines, the others referring to gasoline or kerosens or not mentioning fuel. I did note a 1909 ad on Denis Rouleau's Canadian site mentioned "engines to operate with producer gas to 2000 HP"
I'm emailing Denis to see if he knows what happened to the company.

Separate timing gear for each cylinder. I'm aware that at least one West Coast vessel was Automatic powered. Here's a 1909 four.1909 automatic
