Rick, I thought this was common knowledge but maybe not, the first production
vehicle to develop 2hp/cuin was the venerable 1931 Mcdivit corn plucker
powered by a 17 liter (1037.4 cu in) side  valve 9 cylinder engine, it ran on
a heady mixture of 50% white spirit and 50% beef fat, the forced induction was
by way of a manually operated bellows thus requiring two people to operate the
corn plucker, I hope that clears that up.
