Re: [A/S] onboard generators for A/S trailers

["Frank M. 'Mitch' Hill" <fmhill@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Interesting question, How to silence it?  I have a 3.5KW  GROBAN Electric 
generator with a 8 HP Briggs & Stratten engine.  When I bought it, I bought 
a "Maxim Silencer" from the dealer with the generator.

The "Maxim Silencer" is a commercially made super quieting muffler, It is 
one of Hiram Percy Maxim (founder of ARRL and W1AW) inventions.  Last I 
knew his son was running the manufacturing operation in Connecticut around 
the Bridgeport area as I recall...  The "Maxim Silencer" does a excellent 
job of quieting the exhaust so it is quieter than the machinery noise of 
the Briggs...

Now if I could just find a easy way to get rid of the generator and engine 
machinery noise and vibration....

I just looked on the web, MAXIM is now a division of Beaird Industries...
You know us New England Yankees, We don't like to let the cat out of the 
bag on a really good thing, looks like this one is out...
