Thesis: S.B., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Mechanical Engineering, 2017. Cataloged from PDF version of thesis. Includes bibliographical references (page 26). The Atlantic Marine Engine, designed and manufactured by Lunenburg Foundry of Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, is a historically significant gasoline marine engine from the beginning of the 20th century. The Atlantic and other similar engines transformed the American and Canadian fishing industries with their power and reliability. A project to recreate a historic J model, single cylinder, two-cycle "make and break" engine is ongoing at MIT's Pappalardo Laboratory by a number of students. This thesis will focus on making progress towards a completed engine with the design and fabrication of the engine base. The fabrication will continue to use a traditional sandcasting process, but will explore the viability of using computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) processes to make high quality patterns out of high-density polyurethane foam. by Kyle Joba-Woodruff.
