Description
I found this machine in Ponza, Italy in 2005. On the cover you can still read R.A. LISTER & CO. LTD DURSLEY ENGLAND
R A Lister & Company was founded in Dursley, Gloucestershire, in 1867 by Sir Robert Ashton Lister (1845�1929), to produce agricultural machinery.
Having survived the Second World War, Listers continued to benefit from its reputation for durable, reliable high-quality engines, and its pedigree as an old-established firm. However labour costs in the post-war period made a return to the heyday of the 1920s and 1930s impossible. Competition from rivals such as Petter, and from overseas were also factors to be contended with, and in 1965 Listers was acquired by Hawker-Siddeley (see below) who had also bought its old rival Petter in 1957.
Although R A Lister ceased production of many of its well known models many years ago, many of these engine are still in use today all over the world.
I believe that this specimen belongs to a ship sunk in the waters of Ponza.
Ho trovato questo macchinario in Ponza, Italia nel 2005. Sul carter si può ancora leggere R.A. LISTER & CO. LTD DURSLEY ENGLAND
RA Lister & Company è stata fondata nel Dursley, Gloucestershire, nel 1867 da Sir Robert Ashton Lister (1845-1929), per la produzione di macchine agricole.
Essendo sopravvissuto alla seconda guerra mondiale, Listers hacontinuato a beneficiare della sua reputazione di motori durevoli, affidabili e di alta qualità , e il suo pedigree come una società vecchia sede. Tuttavia il costo del lavoro nel dopoguerra ha reso impossibile un ritorno al periodo d'oro degli anni 1920 e 1930i. La concorrenza di rivali come Petter, e anche da oltreoceano sono stati fattori da considerare, fino a che l'azienda nel 1965 è stata acquisita da Listers Hawker-Siddeley, che aveva anche comprato il suo vecchio rivale Petter nel 1957.
Sebbene RA Lister ha cessato la produzione di molti dei suoi modelli ben noti molti anni fa, molti di questi motori sono ancora in uso oggi in tutto il mondo.
Ritengo che questo reperto appartenga a qualche nave affondata nelle acque di Ponza.
