RE: Engine factory for more than a hundred years at Rubbestadneset.
The key word is reliability! Perhaps this is the best quality of the engine and its manufacturer. I traveled on different cars, powerful and not very, but, I always gave priority to reliability and ease of maintenance.
Thank you, my dear friend @Siggjo, for the excellent photos and this fascinating excursion into the past and present of this wonderful factory.
When people are in danger, all means to save them are good, but it’s good to know that these tools are reliable and will not let you down at the last minute.
Wichmann engines had an excellent reputation @Barski
And in some areas in Western Norway, they were almost dominant among fishers for a period.
Have you heard the engine sound on the link?
The link also shows how an old boat manoeuvred in a narrow harbour.
The sound is interesting, I wanted to record it, turn it on at full volume in my Renault, and slowly drive past the traffic police, opening the windows of the car. It will be interesting to me to look at their eyes))) The low speed of the engine makes it possible to maneuver excellently in difficult places.
Here is another link to Wichmann sound @Barski
