All the work on this motor, including the castings and machine work, was done by the donor in his shop in Mount Forest. He exhibited his motor at many steam shows in Ontario during the 1960s and 1970s before his eventual passing the in the spring of 1979. In Canada, there are a number of companies that have specialized in marine engine building. For example, on May 8th, 1928, Canadian Johnson Motor Company Limited established its first location in Peterborough, located at 910 Monaghan Road, in Ontario, Canada. In 1935, OMC bought Johnson. OMC was once Peterborough’s second-largest employer throughout the 20th century. The facilities were extensive, providing stable employment for over 1200 people and generating revenue for thousands of people. OMC manufactured its Evinrude and Johnson brand motors at this plant until its closure in 1990, though the company was dissolved on February 1, 1982. Tout le travail sur ce moteur incluant le moulage a été fait par le donateur à son atelier situé Mount Forest. Il apportait son moteur a plusieurs exhibitions des machines à vapeur en Ontario pendant les années 1960s et 1970s avant qu'il nous quitte aux printemps de 1979. De nombreuses compagnies ont décidé de spécialiser dans le domaine de moteurs hors-bord marines au Canada. La compagnie de moteurs nommée Canadain Johnson Motor Company est un exemple de telle franchise qui s'est établi en 1928 à Peterborough. En 1935 la compagnie OMC a acheté Johnson Motor et il est devenu un des plus gros embaucheurs de la ville en 1935 avec plus de 1200s employés. La compagnie était responsable de manufacturier des moteurs pour les marques Evinrude et Johnson jusqu'à la fermeture de l'usine en 1990. - Function

-
In outboard engines, fuel and air are burned in a closed space, known as the cylinder; this burning process generates hot gasses that try to expand. The only way for the hot gasses to expand is by pushing the piston downward; the piston is connected to a rod, which is linked to the crankshaft. The crankshaft converts the piston’s downward motion into a rotating motion of the shaft. Le concept d'avoir un moteur monté permet une amélioration au système de direction et la capacité de pivoter. Des moteurs hors-bord brule du carburant avec de l'air dans un cylindre. Ce processus va générer des gazes réchauffées qui essayent d'agrandir. La seule façon pour l'expansion des gazes dans un environnement restreinte est de pousser le piston vers le bas. Ce piston est connecté à une tige qui est liée à un arbre moteur. L'arbre moteur converti la mobilité descendante du piston a une motion de rotation. - Area Notes
