As with most Tangye dating records when the first non designated type engines were built is unknown, but from catalogues available they were first listed in 1901 , with slight changes listed in 1902.

The 1902 Catalogue changes from the 1901 issue are

* Change of fuel type from Petrolium to Oil.

* Release of a small 2hp engine.

* Release of Shallow Base and Portable engines.

* Release of Benzoline and Alcohol engines.

This type of engines carried a Tangyes Patents plate that can be seen on Tangye Plates Page.
