These were the new style engines for Termaat & Monahan with the cast wet exhaust originally called a condenser, they came on the market in late 1905, the condenser was patented in 1906. The early engs had the lever timers, these specs are from a 1906 catalog. No model names, engs were seperated by their Horse power, by 1907 the Hp were 2,3 and 5 up a bit from 1906 but the same engs.
I like the Mica Spark Plug they were commonly used in 1906 !

The engine in the ad is the small 1 1/2 hp I think your eng will be one of the larger ones because of the general profile. let us Know !

Many Companies used this design and exhaust casting I call them the Jefferson Avenue (Detroit) engines because that seems to be the source, Here is a 1907 Caille Perfection ad-- its no wonder we can"t tell some of these engs apart unless they have the Tag ??

"Jefferson Avenue Engines" I'm not sure about the Termatt & Monahan engines or the Caille Perfection engines but on the Detroit, Columbia, Sandow, Michigan Steel boat marine engines you can identify the early made engines from the late model engines by two features. The inspection hole and the counter balance holes in the flywheels. Early model engines have a small round pipe plug for the inspection hole and the flywheels are not counter balanced at all. Later model engines have a larger square inspection plate with four bolts holding it on and the flywheel is counter balanced. Just thought someone might like to know.

I don't know the exact date or year. However I believe the square inspection covers started showing up in literature around the 1907,1908 time period and most of these engines have the counter balance in the flywheel. Engines with the threaded inspection plug do not have the counter balanced flywheel. However I'm sure there are probably a few exceptions.

Here is the 1906 Monahan patent. It's both interesting and educational.

This is a 1907-09 Termaat with original paint, the color on the upper part of the cylinders is the most accurate.

This engine has the square inspection covers. Do you know if the flywheel or crank has counter balance? Being a two cylinder and the pistons firing 180 degrees apart helps the engine to run a little smoother even if it doesn't have a counter balance.

I did a liitle research and 1905-06 singles had the threaded inspection port and by 1907 had gone to the square 4 bolt plate, the balanced flywheels and upped the Hp ratings. The multi-cylindered engine always had square or round inspection plates !

1906 twin

t06

1906 bIG 30 Hp twin with round inspection covers.
