Danish gen set
Nick Highfield
the set itself, here are the details.
Villiers Mark 10/2. No.850D 26042. Direct coupled to Transmotor
(Copenhagen). Eenfaset, selvmagn, selvregl, AC-generator type: VG-35sp.
No.102998. 220V, 2.96A, 50 c/s, 0.65KVA.
All in a tubular frame with control box containing field rheostat, voltmeter
and vibrating reed type frequency indicator. There is a sheet steel 'bonnet'
on top of the frame with hinged flap to access petrol cap and what I take to
be lubricating instructions as follows:-
OLIESTANDEN
skal efterses daglig
1.Stop motoren
2. Paafyld olie til maerket paa pinden
Everything is screened and supressed in typical military fashion, colour is
olive drab and, with liberal use of 1/2 thick plate to support the engine
and alternator on shock mounts, the whole thing weighs far more than any
fairly modern sub KW gen set has a right to!
Perhaps the most distinctive feature is the exhaust. Rather than the usual
nasty pepper-pot affair, it has an expansion chamber which would look more
at home on a two-stroke motorcycle and actually gives a rather nice subdued
exhast note.

anyone out there is familiar with scandiwegian languages!

God dag Nick, My Dansk isn't very good but I think it says something like
Rotation direction set towards gudgeon.
I think the plate says
single phase self magnetising self regulating.
I think some words are abreviated.

selvmagn = self-exciting? selvregl = self-regulating?

OIL LEVEL
must be checked daily
1. Stop engine
2. Fill [with] oil to the upper? mark
<snip>
I am having it all checked by a professional Swedish-English translator
as I type.

The first bit is easy:
OIL LEVEL must be checked daily
1) Stop the engine
2) Top up oil to mark on [dip] stick
The last line is a bit cryptic. Literally it is:
"Turn-direction seen toward axel notch"
If the equipment is standard HMAK or CFM issue, I would guess it refers
to the turn (thread) of the cam or possibly a crank for starting the
beast. Is there an arrow next to the cam or crank? Is it a Dennis by
chance?

"OK, first and foremost, that ain't Swedish! Even allowing for the
substitution of letters due to the absence of Swedish characters, it
still looks more like halfway between Norwegian and Danish, however...

Fill with oil up to the mark on the stick (presumably a dipstick)
>"omdr-retning set mod akseltap"
<the first word isn't Swedish, Danish or Norwegian, but it's close
enough to the D and N for "revolution/rotation" that I think that's what
it is, so...> revolution set or seen ?in relation to/relative
to/against? axel spindle/pivot arm/axle bar/king pin
Is any of that feasible in the context you're looking at?
Hope this helps, at least a little, and sorry not to be able to be more
definite, but this really is a bastardised "language" usage... Do feel
free to give me a call if I can be of any further help."

Single phase, self magnetising (exiting), self regulating, makes sense, as
do the oiling instructions. But I can't make head nor tail of the presumed
rotation direction bit.
Fortunately, as I said, the unit is direct coupled to the engine (clockwise
rope start), so I shall assume that the manufacturer got that bit right.
