B. F. Sturtevant Co., manufacturer of hydraulic pumps, formed manufacturing company to produce petrol engines, 1910.[1]
Produced V-8 aircraft engine.[1]
Needing a market for its aircraft engines, formed Sturtevant Aeroplane Company, 1915, apparently not only to market its engines to others but to build aircraft using those engines.[1]
The manufacturer of the motors is still called B. F. Sturtevant Co. (of Hyde Park Mass.) in one 1915 publication.[2] The proper name of the manufacturer could be clarified.
