Crankless Engines (Aust) Pty Ltd

11/05/20

This was the location of Crankless Engines (Aust) Pty Ltd where the noted engineer Phil Irving started his career. The company was formed in Melbourne in 1920 to develop and manufacture a new engine design invented in about 1917 by British-born, Australian resident Anthony George Maldon Michell. He was one of Australia's most accomplished, if little-known inventors and engineers. The crankless engine was based on a simple yet ingenious method of eliminating many moving parts.
