Translation: Sweden Oil Engines "Avance"

The hot bulb engine was invented in 1890 by the Englishman Herbert Akroyd. An other Englishman - Robert Day - invented the 2-stroke engine at bout the same time. Two German emigrants, living in New York, combined these two inventions and constructed a 2-stroke hot bulb engine and named it after the inventors, MIETZ & WEISS. In Sweden a man named J. V. Svensson from Stockholm, bought the rights to produce this type of engine and started a large scale production. The engine was named AVANCE and was exported world-wide. Most Swedish manufacturers copied this new type of engine and we estimate that more than 70 different manufacturers have been producing this 2-stroke hot bulb engine during the years. They were very useful in agriculture, sawmills and fishingboats.
