The A-1020 was type certificated and flown in private aircraft. I'm not
aware if it was offered by any airplane manufacturer. The Army approved it
for Tank, Stuart, service and that must have consumed a large part of the
production. After the war Guiberson promoted them for industrial engines
and
for use in busses in So. America. The Bureau of Ships installed some as
power for shipboard accessorys. The majority were therefore T-1020s, the
major difference being shrouds and cooling fans. Continental had a 9 cyl
R975 gas motor similarly configured for tanks.

I have been able to find very little about the engines. The best
information I have found is at
http://www.enginehistory.org/Diesels/Ch3.pdf

I also heard that someone in Montana has some of them but that is all I
have
found.

I know of numerous T-1020s, that's the Tank version which was also
sold
for

industrial applications. They have cooling fans and shrouds. There are

surely many A-1020s as well. Do you have a manual/photos or other

information. I would be interested in that. Production numbers etc.

Does anyone know if there are any surviving Guiberson A1020 diesel
radials?
