Hello ODK History Lovers

This is a rare James Kirby Engine Brochure that I have dated to the early 1970s.
I think this reflects the boast of half a million engine sales, and the fact Kirbys
are using the older VK and HK designations.

There is a nice aerial photograph of the Kirby Factory, located at 283-310 Horsley Road,
Milperra, NSW.
By any standards, this was a large engine production facility.

This brochure was attached to a covering letter, from Victorian Kirby Dealer
E.R. Nason and Company, of Elizabeth Street, Melbourne.

The letter gives us the List Prices for Kirby Engines at this time.
Unfortunately, the letter is not dated.
