The Atlas Gas Engine Co and the Imperial Gas Engine Co of San Francisco had merged as of Jan 1906 into Atlas Imperial Engine Co that later produced the Diesel. Interesting to note that they still produced engines under both names to favor the respective customer base.

Does anyone know when Atlas Imperial gave up the open crankcase? The bronze bodied ignitors were gone by the time my 12hp came off the line sometime in the 1920s, as were the roller followers, or perhaps only on the smaller engines. Smaller being a relative term at 1200 lbs. The part about the "conservative rating" rings true!

My early (1906) Atlas Gas Engine 4 cylinder has an enclosed crankcase, I have no idea on smaller engines. Well into the thirties their catalog was only a suggestion of what they were willing to make. Perhaps they supplied open cases to order later than one would expect?
