tanks3 Posted 15 July , 2020 Share Posted 15 July , 2020 Firstly apolgies if this is not the correct place to post this. This is a very long shot but is there any forum member who can assist me in my reseach regarding the above. I know they produced a 30cwt lorry for the war effort but I am also keen to establish their involvement in the production of Tylor engines. All info gratefully received Thanks Tanks3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin DavidOwen Posted 15 July , 2020 Admin Share Posted 15 July , 2020 Grace's Guide has this about them https://www.gracesguide.co.uk/Guy_Motors and if it is J Tylor and Sons engines there is this https://www.gracesguide.co.uk/J._Tylor_and_Sons But I can't find an obvious connection...

davidbohl Posted 15 July , 2020 Share Posted 15 July , 2020 By 1917 the Tylor engine was already "fitted in War Office models" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanks3 Posted 16 July , 2020 Author Share Posted 16 July , 2020 All Thanks for the information and links. Most grateful. The one of interest was that for the Museum of Transport which said Guys "30 cwt.lorries continued in production and were supplied to the Russian army. Other products included engines for tanks, aero engines, and depth charge firing mechanisms." Tylor engines were used in the Medium MK A tank and I think this is a reference to that supply. Thanks all again Tanks3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidearm Posted 2 August , 2020 Share Posted 2 August , 2020 I read the Tylor records at LMA some years ago and there is no confirmation within them that Tylors built engines for the Medium A. However I have found confirmation of this in records at The National Archives, but they were not the only firm to manufacture these engines for tanks.
