Note: The Serial Numbers assigned by Domestic Engine and Pump Co. to their engines do not always run sequentially with shipping date. In this table, I’ve chosen arbitrarily to show the serial numbers of the first engine shipped in each calendar year, found on the first page on which there are more engines shipped in that year than in the previous year, (and the last SN in each Record Book). In nearly every case some higher-SN engines were shipped during the prior year.
In the 1918-24 period, the shipping dates are often very non-sequential with regard to SN. On a single page of 33 sequential engine serial numbers, shipping dates may range over a period of 12-18 months.
Engine Record Book 6 records the last few engines built, including two shipped in 1952.
