The 8 h.p. version was the Mark 'D' and the 12½ h.p. the Mark 'B', the letter 'P' being added to both type if supplied as a portable unit. The smaller size ran at 290 r.p.m, and the larger 260 r.p.m. The makers stated d an e (Blackston n inventio w ne s Thi e engin e th t abou l al r fo s Engine l Oi n i e advanc t grea a s mark ) patents s Carter' purposes. 6 h.p. to 45 h.p. engines are also in progress'.

It can be seen how this engine resembles the earlier range of vapouriser engines, while the one shown in the previous photograph shows a distinct move towards the later 'spring injection' shape.
