The New Engine Company (abbreviated to N.E.C) was an early British manufacturer of aero-engines.
History
editThe New Engine Company produced a series of aero engines which were unusual in being two-stroke designs, with the refinement that a Roots blower was used to first purge each cylinder of exhaust gases and then to introduce a mixture of air and petrol. All were liquid cooled.
