Eight-cylinder Vee-engines built around 1910. It is the Easton Cordage Co, later Rinek.

-The small model gave 45/50 HP and had a displacement of 350 cu. in., and the largest one gave 60/75 HP with 565 cu. in.of displacement.

From Appendix 10: By 1909 it became the Easton Cordage Co.

Only one year later it was renamed Rinek Aero Manufacturing Co.

-Initially there were two Easton models, both 8-cylinder V-engines, the 45/50 hp and the 60/70 hp. And also a 4-cylinder in line, the B-4 that gave 30 hp.

-Later in Rinek, the engines would be modernized, and the range increased to 4 types of engines.
