Title: The American Rowboat Motor
Description: The term "Rowboat Motor" describes those motors manufactured before the mid 1920’s. These motors were generally one cylinder, made of cast iron and brass, and were started by turning the flywheel, either by hand, or with the help of a knob positioned on the edge of the wheel. There were over 40 companies manufacturing these motors between 1895 and the mid 1920’s. This book covers the history of companies and the different models of motors they produced.
