[AT] Standard Diesel Engines

[James Peck]

Standard produced their first diesel engine in 1951. Were they using engine component machining equipment that has been used to produce air cooled aircraft engines?

John Maddock AT List Member (agtronixjv at southcom.com.au);  No idea if Standard designed the 23c. It is described as a "Riccardo "engine - whatever that means!

James AT List Member (jamesgpeck at hotmail.com);  Looks like standard started to produce the 23C engine before they were  purchased by MF. Did Standard design the engine?
