I am posting on behalf of Pottsville Historical Museum. We have 3 engines we need help gathering information about for historical signs. Any help would be greatly appreciated (Year, Spec, History).
#1 Climax Blue Streak R6T Type 2073 Engine 15313 6 cylinder gas, twin fire

#2 Fairbanks Morse 4 cylinder diesel Model 36A 4-1/4 S 40 hp twin disc clutch co 2042

#3 Waukesha Model WL32 not quite sure of the L. 6-1/4 x 8 Engine 203231 Thew radiator
Thank you :)
 
The climax and the waukesha are in my 1935 book.Unforutnately there is no date for the WL 2700lbs.The climax R6U is listed as first made in 1925 and the R6I as 1927 6x7 bore and stroke.2900lbs weight.
 
Pottsville: The Wauk Eng Hist Soc (wehs.net) should be able to provide info and probably a manual on both the WL (the "22" is the works code for original accessories like carb, ign, oil pan etc) and for the Climax, as Wauk bought Climax in 1957 or so, continuing some of the engines as a Division of Wauk until the mid-80s or so.
When emailing wehs send all info on engine tags incl serial #s.
QUESTION: I didn't have an R6T on my Climax list (admittedly far from complete); do you know what it's use was (in a vehicle-shovel etc) or as a stand-alone power unit??
Fairbank-Morse I don't follow, so can't comment.
