Johnson Motors Company started as a family-run business. The Johnson brothers crafted their first marine engine in a barn in Terre Haute, IN, in 1908. The company’s first outboard motor, a 2-hp twin-engine made of lightweight aluminum alloys, was produced on December 19, 1921. During the early 1920s, the Peterborough Canoe Company in Ontario had served as the distributor for Johnson Outboards in Eastern Canada. In 1928, Johnson expanded its presence by establishing the Canadian Johnson Motor Company Limited in Peterborough, Ontario. The manufacturing and assembly operations were initially located on the site of the present-day Canadian Canoe Museum on Monaghan Road. In 1935, Johnson and Evinrude merged to form Outboard Motors Corporation, combining their expertise and resources in the industry. Over time, the Canadian facility, later known as Outboard Marine Corporation of Canada Ltd., experienced significant growth. By 1959, it had expanded to over 400,000 square feet and provided employment to 1,600 people. La compagnie Johnson Motors a eu ces débuts à Terre Haute en 1908 à Indiana. Des frères ont créé leur premier moteur à deux temps le 19 décembre 1921. La compagnie ontarienne nommée le Peterborough Canoe Company était utilisée comme le distributeur des moteurs Johnson pendant les années 1920s pour le marché de l'Est du Canada. L'usine était située ou le Musée des Canoës de Peterborough est présentement établi. En 1935 La compagnie Johnson a fusionné avec l'entreprise Evinrude pour former la compagnie Outboard Motors Corporation. Ensemble les deux compagnies on agrandit leur usine canadienne et en 1959 il occupait 400,000 pieds carrés et avait plus de 1600 personnes en emploi.
Function
The artifact can be attached to the stern of a small boat. The object is a 3.7 Horsepower 2-cylinder small internal combustion engine that is designed as a propulsion system for a watercraft. Cet artefact est conçu pour être attaché à la poupe d'un petit bateau. L'objet est un moteur à combustible de 3.7 Puissances avec deux cylindres pour propulser un véhicule marin.
Technical
In 1922, the Johnson brothers turned their attention to a small two-cylinder air-cooled motor, which they modified for use as a bicycle helper engine; these motorized bicycle attachments became known as Johnson Motor Wheels. Lou Johnson repurposed some of the Motor Wheel’s engine for a new invention: an outboard motor, and the result was a water-cooled 2-cylinder outboard weighing only 35lbs, significantly lighter than the bulky row boat motors of that time. The company perfected its craft over time and this 1935, 3.7 hp Johnson outboard motor was made for freshwater, weighs approximately 30 pounds, has 2 cylinders; the pistons have a 7.6 displacement while the bore width is 1.88" and the stroke length is 1.38". En 1922 les frères Johnson ont modifié un moteur à deux cylindres refroidis à l'air pour fonctionner comme un moteur à aide bicycle. Ces attachements motorisés pour bicyclette ont été nommées Johnson Motor Wheels par leur compagnie. Lou Johnson a adapté la technologie de ces moteurs pour une nouvelle invention : le moteur hors-bord. Le résultat net de son expérience était un moteur à deux-cylindres qui était refroidi à l'eau et qui pesait seulement 35 livres. Le moteur était incroyablement léger a comparé aux moteurs encombrant en utilisation sur les bateaux à rames à cette époque. Ce moteur avec une Puissance de 3.7 fabriqué par Johnson était conçu pour de l'eau douce et pèse environ 30 livres. Il a deux cylindres et les pistons ont un déplacement de 7.6 avec un diamètre du fût de 1.88 pouces et une longueur de course de 1.38 pouces.
