Hello all, life gets more hectic as I get older, I thought it was meant to be the other way!! Anyway, that is my excuse for not being so active on the Forum in recent times.
Today I acquired a Kelly and Lewis diesel Type 1DK, 8.5hp at 1000rpm, Serial No. 217 WA.
The brass ID plate identifies it as a National Diesel Engine, with the K & L logo beneath the name. (K&L WA Pty Ltd.)
It further states that it was Made in Australia, and Assembled by Kelly and Lewis W A Pty Ltd.
The underlined words are direct quote from the ID plate.
Western Australia is a long way from Tassie, so it is not surprising that I have never seen a K&L engine from there. Indeed, I was unaware that K&L had a factory in the west.
Can any of you most erudite and knowledgeable Forum members tell me (us) more about this fact relating to Kelly and Lewis, please?
I wish all a safe and happy Easter break.
Teddy
