Initials of the "New Engine Company". It was the best considered in the manufacture of 2-stroke engines in the early days of aviation. Later they made 4-stroke engines.

“NEC, 40 HP”

-There was the 35/40 HP 3-cylinder, and the 6-cylinder for 50/65 HP that was installed in the Short-Wright biplane with 50 HP in 1910, and in the Seddon Mayfly with 65 HP.

-They were water cooled and air was forced into the cylinders by a supercharger to improve the sweep.
