I have a question. A friend has a reprint of the book, Machine Shop Projects, by South Bend Lathe Works. The last project in the book is a two-cycle gasoline engine. The instructions cover how to machine the parts, but it has a number of cast iron castings. It doesn’t seem to mention how to make the castings or where to get them. Did they come in a kit at one time? Or did they just expect you to make your own castings? Has anyone heard of one of those engines being built?

Ive seen those prints in the SB shop book. I would suspect that the engine was to be shop project, and as a result castings would have to be sourced either though the school itself, or by a local foundry.

FYI I was curious about that book and tried searching for it and found that the book can be downloaded for free.
