I've been sorting through my pile of crankcasses that has gotten to large. To sort there condition. And try and sell some.
We're I came across this.

Nothing strange about that you may think, it's the crankcase they made as a two bearing in the three bearing castings.
These castings were usually fitted to cars around 1936 just before the full three bearing engine was fitted. So a mid Ruby car.
Please look at the pictures closely.
Picture two, shows the crankcase is on the same hight as a box saloon? Not the hight of a Ruby it would be expected to be?
The engine number has never been stamped were it should be? But there does look to be an engine number under the nosecone.
Also check the Birmal, and the part number?
The Birmal, it has an A in front of it?
And the part number, 1A is cast in. And the three numbers are stamped?
So they decided it's part number after manufacture?
Is this a prototype?
Any help or input welcomed.
Tony.
