I'm really amazed how much the Witte CD is like the Lister.  The lister with the green and brass simply wins the "pretty" show.

Interesting engine speed and HP, probably a special order job, the usual speed was 1000rpm and 7/8hp.

Single heavy flywheel suggests generator but may have been something else.

Perhaps you are thinking of the Witte AD, the Witte CD is a horizontal.

Hi MikeT,

I'm sure you have better knowledge than I.  But you do see the similarities between the Lister CD and the Witte AD.  Yep, I just checked my photos and, you’re correct about the CD being the horizontal.  The Lister vs Witte:  Purdy vs Machismo.

Negative, every time I start to think that way, life comes along and reminds me how little I actually do know, humble pie and all that. I might have a bit of advantage on this particular topic though, as I have a (Witte) CD, and even when I turned it on end, it did not quite look like a Lister :) They are all lovely engines, painted and shiny, or rusted and grimy!

Regards,
Michael
