I'm sure the cacophony created by the bark of unmuffled
engines was a real problem but I sure wish I could hear it just one time.


I always thought of Loew as an engine seller, not a
manufacturer. This article both proves Loew was a manufacturer
and puts a date on the start of production.


Who knew that in 1909 there was an 850 ton steam powered warship that could go
43.75 statute miles per hour? Good thing that one didn't hit an iceberg!

Thanks for the Loew Engine article. I have a LOEW badged 4cyl 4 cycle t-head marine engine. The extended base carries the tranny and the crank case inspection covers display LOEW on all 4 covers.

Bruce,
What's the date of your engine? I may be able to find an ad for it in one of my old baoting magazines. I have a nice full page Loew ad in front of me but I think 1909 is probably earlier than your engine.

Searcher, Have not determined the age of my T-Head Loew. Loew Engine Co. teamed up with Victor and moved to Detroit early in the game. Hardenger(?) was in the mix at some point, I'd really like to locate a photo of the exhaust manifold as mine is missing. Thanks for the interest. I found it interesting too that Loew was building pipe threaders early on.....

Bruce,

Here is a Loew ad. I think the engine at the top of the ad is a four stroke, 4 cylinder, t-head. Keep scrolling down and there is a blowup of that engine.

Sorry about that, you wanted the exhaust side.

Another early reference to mixing oil in the gasoline for lubrication. The relationship of Pierce and Nye to Smalley is also an intersting tidbit.
