history, always with surprises. The 7 cylinder rotary engine by Macomber, 1915

Those rims too... cool and unusual.

Well the grand daughter of the inventor/mechanic, is very interested in locating an actual Macomber rotary engine and an Eagle-Macomber car.

If anyone out there has any leads, please contact Bart Parker at the Rand Desert Museum by clicking here, or www.andersonwritingservices.com.

The significance of 1915 was that it was the year of the San Diego Exposition Road Race that was the opening event for the Pan Pacific Expo... sort of a worlds fair type of year long event http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2014/12/100th-anniversary-of-panama-california.html
