Lister in France

Many thanks,
Were you able to access the pictures on the "servimg" web address I posted on my earlier e mail?
I will this evening do the whole thing again and try to get the pice on the forum.
Bob.

no bob, using a link like that sends you to the servmg website rather than any members photos, as you need to log in before viewing them. let me know how you get on, i've sent you a private message with my email address if you want to email me the pictures and i'll host them for you.

cheers..
Paul

Many thanks to you both,
I will try again this evening to get the pictures onto the forum site.
Meanwhile, however, are you able to access the pictures from the web site address I attached to my earlier e mail?
Bob.
Sorry to repeat myself. I had not realised that the earlier posting had successfully arrived at the forum site.
Bob.

Heres Bobs pictures as requested









Cheers.

Paul

Now having just looked at these pictures myself, i dont think the engine was made in germany, but rather Holland. the dutch have ties with the Lister Family and it wouldnt surprise me that they were liscence built in holland, which would make the "van der horst" name more fitting.

the barrels are shot though unfortunately, i havent seen any that bad be recovered, so i believe they will need to be replaced, unless anyone else has a more optimistic view than me?

Cheers.
Paul

a friend of mine, Peter forbes put this information up on there

Van der Horst were the patentees for a chroming process for engine cylinder bores. 'Listard' and 'Chromard' were two of the trade names, but as time went by it was found that improved liner and ring material, plus the use of alloy pistons, obviated the need for bore chroming and it died out in the 1950's or 60's.

cheers. Paul

Paul,
I am most grateful, and not a little embarrassed that I could not load the pics myself.
Thanks for the information. That the engine originated from Holland probably supports my information, in as much as Holland was occupied by the Germans at the same time, and a machine delivered from anywhere in occupied Europe in the war time period would have been assumed by the "locals" as being of German origin.
