Providing Power For A New Age The R & V Story 2016 by Donald Paul & John Nikodym
Providing Power for A New Age: The R&V Story tells of one, mostly forgotten, story of a company that rose to the challenge of creating this power. This book takes you through a chronological tale of the Root and Van Dervoort Engineering Company and The Moline Automobile Company. It will take you through beginnings and ends, strikes, and "The War to End All Wars", until the company finally comes to its end. This book does not end there, however, it gives you a tour of the R&V factory, explains the lives of those people important to the R&V story, and gives you an in-depth look at the products this factory, and these people, created. Providing Power for a New Age: The R&V Story includes many never-before seen photos and illustrations. The R&V story may have once been nearly forgotten, but this book brings light back to an extraordinary legacy. This is a historical biography of the Root & Van Dervoort Engineering Company and the Moline Automobile Company in East Moline, IL from 1900 to 1924.

The Fine Print.....
I have been collecting hit miss engines for 35+ years and I am very knowledgeable. Please feel free to call me with questions. My parts inventory has grown out of control, so set a reminder to check back frequently for new listings! If you don't see the part you need listed, good chance I just haven't gotten around to it yet, so just check with me. Like I said, I have been doing this a long time and try to list everything accurately and to provide a detailed explanation of the item, both good and the bad.
As a reminder, I will only accept returns if there is an error in my listing. If you decide you don't want it or find another one cheaper, I won't take it back. For example, if my measurements are wrong, I would take it back. Most of my parts are listed "AS IS" and are in unknown working condition, unless otherwise stated. Please check the pictures and the description on all items carefully before you bid.
