Italian Bolinder

Can Anyone Help?

Hello,

My name is Davide Gnola, I'm director of Museo della Marineria (maritime/fishing museum) in Cesenatico, Italy, on the west coast of Adriatic Sea.

We have a section devoted to the first marine engines, where we have a Bolinder engine. We know that this is an important engine for the history of navigation, but we lack of  specific info's about this: the engine seems to be made in Italy, but we can't find any notices about italian Bolinders.

Can you help us with some infos and references? I hope it can be interesting also for you.

The plank over the engine said:
"Bolinder Italia
Fabbricazione italiana
Tipo V3M15S (?)  N. 312360
8/10 CV    900 1000 Giri/Min.
Soc. An. Motori per la Pesca - SAMP
Roma"

Translated is:
"Bolinder Italy
Made in Italy
Type ....  Serial number...
8/10 Horse Power  - 900 / 1000 Round per Minute
[made by] SAMP - Anonymous Society for Fishing Engines - Rome"

Thanks in advance

Sincerely yours

Dr. Davide Gnola
