On August 9, 1910 the Connor Mfg. Co. of Exeter Ontario received a patent on their Premier engine. The Premier was a unique aircooled engine with the piston and the crankcase helping in the cooling process. The engine is a 4 Hp S/N 382. It is another one of the few engines unique to Canada. It was purchased on the weekend of the Portland show, and met us at home on the Sunday.
