Sithomas,
Thank you for providing the Flight references. Based on the images and descriptions there I have revised the article, changing the valve number to three.
Glenn Angle appears to have taken much of his Mercury write-up from the earlier Flight article but simply got the valve count wrong. The two exhaust stacks and single inlet duct per cylinder makes it pretty clear.
I tried to find a side view and could not locate one. _________________ Kimble D. McCutcheon |

For detailed information on the cylinder head construction of this engine. have a look at Patent No GB131053 which can be downloaded from the Espacenet website
As well, GB 119,356 and GB153,049 also provide some excellent drawings of aspects of this most interesting engine. |
