Electrical Components
for Military Stationary Engines

Delco-Remy provided
electrical components for use in stationary engines. This
particular application is not noted in the 1944 Delco-Remy "Our War Job"
but it was never-the- less very important. American military
forces all over the world used stationary engines to power electrical
generators. They supplied the needed electrical power for lighting,
radios, radar,
refrigeration, and other uses on remote bases. In October 2020, I
was able to visit an engine collector and saw two Cummins engines with
Delco-Remy components on them.
This 1945 Cummins Engine Company HB150
diesel engine is connected to a power takeoff. It is unknown what
the power takeoff was connected to. Author's photo.
The engine was not going to be connected to
a generator so there is a Delco-Remy D-C generator and voltage regulator
attached to it. Electrical power was needed for some application
associated with the engine. Author's photo.

One can see the edge of the D-R tag on the
motor. I did not see this until I was editing the photos. On
my next visit, I will obtain a photo of the tag. Author's photo.

This is the power takeoff and pulley to
operate an unknown application. Author's photo.
I watched and listened to the Delco-Remy
Model 711 cranking motor start this 1943 Cummins H-I 600 diesel engine.
Note the exhaust coming out the stack. Author's photo.

Only a cranking motor is needed for this
stationary engine due to it driving an electrical generator.
