When will Cummins stop calling motors “engines”?
Many years ago, if you talked about a “ motor”, you were talking more about AC or DC electric “motors. Engine meant an internal combustion enginegas or diesel powered engine. Maybe it’s regional, but early in College Engineering classes and in the USAF (circa 1969-75). If you called something a motor, it was either run off AC or DC. Engine meant gas or diesel fueled, or jet engine, all internal combustion engines.
It was the way I was taught growing up and same in the Air Force and College.
