Hello, Pieters; I got an email from a gent who asked that I post this for anyonewho might be interested. I know nothing else about this engine.--------------------------This is an estate sale of old aircraft and parts that are up for bid. I saw this engine and thought that perhaps someone might find it to be of interest and perhaps even of use: http://www.dtroneaircraftcollection.com ... &Itemid=40 12. Globe Aero engine - "1930", 50 h.p., air-cooled, upright, 4-cylinder; uses manyFord model A parts; no accessories. (A conversation piece) Included is the July1930 "Aero Digest" article showing photos and drawings and giving performancedata and full descriptions of the engine and its parts. A copy of the articlein the March 1997 "Experimenter", titled "Light Plane Heritage: Liquid or AirCooling?" with photos and description of the Globe is also included. Appraisedvalue $1,500. There's a couple of pictures of the engine on the site. It'sa four-cylinder, air-cooled engine. It appears to have one magneto and a singleupdraft carburetor. The rockers are exposed. There's a swing-out engine mountattached. No prop hub is visible. I have no connection to the sale and justhappened across the listing.
