I fact I have, in my barn next to the GT a 6HP @ 430 RPM 'hit and miss'
single cylinder gas engine that says Jeager Machine Company on it. It
was acutally made by Hercules in 1926. The company went on into
Refrigeration. This engine weighs about 660 pounds dry (It is water
cooled). How is that for a power to weight ratio! And that is just the
engine.
