The Firestone Outboard brand was distributed through the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company. Firestone Tire Company sold outboards under the Champion brand from 1939-1942. These were produced for Champion, by a small Tool and Punch Press company owned by C.E. Scott and H.B. Atwater of Minneapolis, Minnesota. After World War II, Firestone Tire Co, contracted with the newly formed Scott-Atwater Company. The Firestone brand of outboard appeared in 1946 and were manufactured by the “Scott-Atwater” Company through 1959. McCulloch purchased “Scott-Atwater” in 1956 and continued the contract with Firestone until 1959. The Firestone contract was given to West Bend in 1960 and they produced Firestone outboards through 1962, which was the last year that Firestone offered a full engine line. 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 own location in Peterborough, Ontario. In 1935 the company merged with Evinrude to form Outboard Marine Corporation (OMC). By the late 1950s, around 45% of Peterborough’s production was exported to New Zealand, Venezuela, Hong Kong, England, South Africa, Australia, Belgium, and Nassau. This was done by providing stable employment for over 1200 people at their facility. By 1959, it had expanded to over 400,000 square feet and provided employment to 1,600 people. The company changed its name to Outboard, Marine & Manufacturing Co. (OMMC) Canada before it was dissolved in 1982. La marque hors-bord Firestone était distribué au travers la compagnie Firestone Tire and Rubber Compagny. Firestone Tire vendait des moteurs hors-bord sous le modèle Champion entre 1939-1943. Firestone a aussi engagé avec Scott-Atwater pour produire leurs moteurs après la Deuxième Guerre Mondiale jusqu'à 1959. La compagnie McCulloch a acheté Scott-Atwater en 1956 mais ils ont continué à produire des moteurs pour Firestone jusqu'à 1959. En 1960 le contrat était donné à West Bend jusqu'à 1962 quand la production des moteurs Firestone était annulé. Aux Canada de nombreuses compagnies ont spécialisé dans la fabrication des moteurs hors-bord. Par exemple, la compagnie Johnson Motors a commencé comme une entreprise familiale. Le 8 Mai, 1928 la compagnie nommée Canadian Johnson Motor Company Limited a établi sa propre usine à Peterborough. En 1935 la compagnie Outboard marine Corporation (OMC) a acheté la compagnie et à aussi fait une fusion d'entreprises avec Evinrude. Rendu à la fin des années 1950 presque 45 % de la production de l'usine à Peterborough était exporté à plusieurs endroits au monde. Plus de 1200 personnes travaillaient pour exporter des moteurs hors-bord à des pays comme la Nouvelle Zélande, l'Australie, l'Afrique du sud, l'Angleterre, le Venezuela, la Belgique, le Hong Kong et aussi le Nassau. Rendu en 1959 la compagnie avait grossit a plus de 1600 employées avec une usine qui a augmenté jusqu'à 400,000 pieds carrés. La compagnie a changé son nom a Outboard, Marine & Manufacturing Co. (OMMC) Canada avant de fermer ces portes en 1982.
Function
This artifact functions as a small internal combustion 3.6 horsepower engine. This artifact can be attached to the stern of a small boat. Cet artefact est conçu pour être attaché à la poupe d'un petit bateau. L'objet est un moteur à combustible avec une Puissance de 3.6
Technical
This 3.6 H.P. Firestone outboard motor was made for the freshwater environment; the piston displacement is 6.21, the bore and stroke are 2.12" and 1.75" respectively; this outboard has starter of the recoil type and power steering as well. 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. Two-stroke engines are known for their simplicity and affordability. They are lightweight and compact, but oil is mixed with the fuel to lubricate the internal parts and during the combustion process. Some of the fuel mixture from that process escapes with the exhaust, resulting in wasted fuel making them less fuel-efficient and also noisier as well as posing risks in the form of water pollution. Ce moteur hors-bord Firestone a une Puissance de 3.36 et il est conçu pour l'eau douce. Le moteur à deux cylindres. Le moteur à une direction assistée et un démarreur à rappel. Les pistons ont un déplacement de 6.2 1pouces et le diamètre de fût est 2.12 pouces pendant que la longueur de course est de 1.75 pouces. 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. Les moteurs à deux temps sont connus pour leur simplicité et leur faible prix. Y sont légers et compactes mais l'huile est mélangée avec le carburant pour lubrifier les composantes à l'interne du moteur. Ceci fait en sorte que le mélange va s'échapper pendant le processus de combustion et les rendre moins efficace et plus bruyant en plus de polluer nos eaux.
