Another Genset Enquiry

[Richard Farrant]

Well now a mate of mine is after a manual for a 5kva Genset driven by a Ford Prefect engine. The Genset is either ex. RAAF or Aust Army, Westinghouse or AEG (Australian General Electric). More particularly he is after the manual for the engine, WW2 vintage.

Bob,

That would be the Ford Industrial Engine either 8 or 10 hp, not sure which a Prefect comes under. Do not remember any gen sets in British Army with this engine, but they did power the DC genny in some of the lorry mounted Coles EMA cranes used by the British forces during WW2. Handbooks appear at stalls at rallies occasionally.
