Notes:
This engine is the same as the Empire B-35 Turbine. The Quality Brand trademark was first used in December 1924, which was after Metal Ware acquired the Empire product line from Harvey Electric Co. This suggests that Quality Brand engines are rebranded Metal Ware engines, or that the Great Northern Mfg Co. of Chicago was licensed to produce the engine.
Pictures of early Quality Brand B-30 and B-31 engines with the solid flywheel can be found on the web.
