Brief History of the Marque: Martinsyde
Edinburgh born G.H. Handasyde was an aircraft manufacturer during WWI.
Partnered with Martin, the factory turned to Martinsyde motorcycle production
in 1919 using their own engines, 350cc singles and 676cc ioe V-twins. The
larger machines had 3 speed AJS gearboxes, Amac carburettors and drip-feed
lubrication. When production ceased in 1925 the name and tooling was sold
to BAT.

JAP aero engines
Dear Sir
Because of my interrest in Martinsyde aeroplanes I am looking for information
concerning JAP aero engines.
I found that three types were used:
1. eight-cylinder JAP side valve engine of 35,40 or 45 hp;
2. six-cylinder direct drive JAP engine 40 hp;
3. 35 hp OHV JAP engine.
Who can help me with information sutch as outside dimensions maybe
outside drawings?
I will use these in drawings which I will make of the aero planes?
Thank you for your help.
With regards,
Jan den Das
