About this Vintage Print Ad
Advertisement for the Sterling crankless, opposed piston, 2 stroke cycle internal combustion marine oil engine using Michel patents. The ad emphasizes two years of operation as an oil engine that can be conveniently installed below the bridge deck, starts quickly electrically, accelerates rapidly, operates within a perfect speed range of 400 to 2000 R.P.M., and is simple in construction and operation. It notes only one starting button and one control lever are required, describes the engine as thoroughly proven, and mentions the present model is 140 H.P., 1800 R.P.M., built for direct drive and with reduction gear. Readers are invited to write for a catalog and describe the boat for which they are considering oil engine power. A 48' cruiser by Dawn Cruisers, Inc. of Clason Point, New York City is referenced as using two Sterling direct drive oil engines.
