DMCS Sandow 12hp twin cylinder owner Greg Berry from Bedford Indiana.
As you can see Greg is in the middle of restoring the engine.
I look forward to seeing more photos as the restoration continues.
This is the only twin Sandow I have ever seen.

                              Owner Gary Conrad from Marengo Iowa.                                                                            Owner unknown

These two photos were taken by Peter & Rita Forbes' Engine Webpages at the 2007 Portland Show. The engines are missing there brass name tags. The only indication that they might be DMCS engines is the green paint. I'm fairly sure that the engine on the left is not a Middleditch engine. Both engines have the early two peice Peterson Automatic fuel feeder injectors manufactured Ben J. Middleditch . The engine on the left is being run by propane through the fuel reservoir.

I'm not sure who the owner is, this engine should have a one piece fuel injector.

DMCS (Sandow) 8 hp with late model governor system. This engine should have fuel injection and water injection system. A couple drops of water into the cylinder at each power stroke kept the engine from knocking when using kerosene. Owner: Danny Shields from Owingsville Kentucky. Danny is missing a few parts on the engine like the fuel feeder/injector, water/injector, drip oilers, can style muffler. The scan above from a original Sandow catalog shows what the missing items would look like. If anyone can help with finding these parts so this engine can come to life once again please e-mail us at : mazak@rocketmail.com

This is another one of Danny's engines he just acquired a Sandow 2.5 notice it has the early model one piece injector and has the original cast iron tank platform and tank. Very factory original engine except for the muffler. Serial # stamped on top of cylinder.

Owner: Roger DiRuscio from Fremont, Ca San Francisco bay area.

DMCS Sandow 2.5 hp stationary engine. Notice the primer cup on the side of the fuel reservoir. This was a feature that DMCS did on some of their later models so you could fill the fuel reservoir with gas when first starting the engine and not have to remove the cap every time. They also put filler valve on the acorn nut on top of the reservoir. I've only seen this feature on DMCS Sandow engines and literature.

DMCS Sandow Stationary hopper cooled engine.

The photo above was scanned from a December 1966 Engineers and Engines Magazine.

In 1913 Detroit Motor Car Supply Company built their vertical two cycle stationary engines in size's 1.5, 2.5, 4, 6, 7.5-8, 9-10, 11-12, 13-15, 16-18, 18.5-20 horse power. The 1.5 hp engine was a single cylinder single flywheel tank cooled engine. The 2.5, 4 & 6 hp engines were single cylinder single flywheel hopper cooled with a round tapered hopper bolted to the top of the head and cylinder. The 7.5-8, 9-10 hp were single cylinder with two flywheels the engines looked almost identical to the Detroit stationary engines. The DMC twin cylinder engines with two flywheels were built in 11-12, 13-15, 16-18, 18.5-20 horse power and also looked very close to the Detroit Engine Works twin stationary engines.

Home built tractor with a DMCS Sandow hopper cooled engine. The DMCS catalogs shows that these hopper cooled engines were built in sizes 2.5, 4, 6 hp. The engine above appears to be a 4 or 6 hp.
