Ian, you are right, I can't find one either. Probably used to see them in The Gas Engine Magazine years ago. Took the photo, attached, because it is what McKay copied the Sunpet from.

The Maker is the National Pulley Company Of Chicago, also branded as a Diamond pumping Engine by the Kalamazoo Gas Engine Co.

Look on pages 261 & 329 of Wendels yellow book
