About the Franklin
Made in Syracuse, NY by the H. H. Franklin Manufacturing Company, from 1902 - 1934, featuring air-cooled engines designed by Syracuse native, John Wilkinson. They were the first four-cylinder engines ever produced in the United States.
In just a few years, Wilkinson developed six-cylinder,
eight cylinder, and twelve cylinder engines, including an
aviation model used to power light planes and early
helicopters. (Helicopters???)
