Wikimedia Commons has media related to Opposed piston engines. How could these things exist, much less flourish? Sammy D III ( talk) 20:01, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
Are these the first O.P.s (seems likely)? Were they designed specifically for subs? Have they always been 8 1/8"x10"? Is the 10" each crank, or both combined (latter seems likely)? How long did they make this piece, before they went to licensed real engines? The US Navy should have a line somewhere, being a major customer. How? Should the unique operation be mentioned? Jane's show F-M in the submarine Narwhal (1929). Opposed Piston engines appear to be exclusive to F-M, and they made them quite a success in marine use. But for every person who has seen a Fairbanks, Morse municipal power plant or a Fairbanks, Morse oil pipe-line pumping station, thousands in every corner of the civilized world have seen Fairbanks scales. It supplies railroads with inspection cards, water-tanks and coaling stations. Fairbanks Morse is one of the biggest pump-makers in the U. Electric motors, generators and appliances rank second.

Fairbanks Scales has already been forked. Presumably spin-offs have the right to use this name.

The more recent/modern Fairbanks Morse company engines- yes probably a different company, and they were license built using Colt-Pielstickdesign -Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.44.67.249 ( talk) 23:57, (UTC) This seems like the "parent" article. These diesels had some vastly differences that some mechanics had problems with. World War II Submarine usage and modern US Submarine Emergency diesels ( in Nuclear powered submarines) - typically were opposed piston- 2 pistons in a single cylinder- then tow crankshafts. If you can put the spin-offs in here, and cite them, verifying that they are indeed independent, it seems to me that we can establish separate articles at that time. Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.7.23.169 ( talk) 23:24, 14 October 2011 (UTC) This is one of the problems of poorly cited articles - a casual editor can't verify the lineage of descendant companies. FME should have a separate page as should Fairbanks Morse Pump and Fairbanks Scale.- User:ebtrr -Preceding unsigned comment added by Ebtrr1 ( talk Ĭareful here- there is the Food Manufacturing Co FMC chemicals andįairbanks Morse, all separate companies. FME is a different company - reference the updated corporate disposition info. The original Fairbanks, Morse and Company is the correct subject of this article. This article has been hijacked by Fairbanks Morse Engines which only marginally a descendant of Fairbanks Morse and Company. Googling will show some images of these products. I have a Fairbanks Morse refrigerator in my house and this article doesn't make mention that they ever manufactured these either. Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.81.77.4 ( talk) 04:13, 7 April 2008 (UTC) Refrigerators and Freezers Reread the article, it is there, not detailed. I assume that radios were also a product of this company but there is no mention in article. I have a Fairbanks-Morse brochure with they title:Fairbanks-Morse turret shielded radio of 1937. 8 EnPro sold off Fairbanks Morse Engine and it is now just "Fairbanks Morse".
