Know your Bowman stationaries!This is a little something I have had knocking around in my head for a while, put this together during my lunch hour. Its the MkI version!!
Any contributions suggestions gratefully received.
I have not gone into great detail, Bowmans are more difficult than Mamods, so dates etc I have left out, as well as boats and different types of flywheel and SV (at this stage). I want to put this on my website as a sort of crib sheet/basic guide to understanding and knowing Bowman stationaries a bit more . . .
Here goes...

Excellent stuff Mike.
Now if anyone can work out any logic in the numbering ......  Hopefully Colin Laker's book might throw some light on the subject, I gather it's fairly near to publication

Best get CL to run his eye over it, it will probably turn out to be 5 times the size it currently is 
The boats are a complete nightmare to date and there are so many variations, I have a couple that don't exist apparently.

I always thought the numbers were some sort of arithmetic or geometric progression. The higher the number the lower/newer spec engine . . . .

MKII, this will go on my website for now, but I fear it will need more updating.

I have deliberately left out dates.... for now.
Id like to do a timeline graphic like my Mamod one . . .
