<HTML>More interesting than the engine , would be to look at the patterns and coreboxes,,It would seem early for a 1 piece casting, and closed case,,,,tho the lower c/ case looks to support the crank,,maybe, ,, There are many capscrews to hold it,,The crosswise admision valve I have seen before,,,somewhere,,David may be able to comment on this,,,yawn,,,be back ,,,later,,long day,,Ben</HTML>

<HTML>It doesn't look like a racing engine to me. An interesting steam launch engine based on Westinghouse single acting dynamo engines, but with four cylinders so it is self starting. Cross top valves used in Westinghouse engines and Clarkson dynamo engines used in their London buses for lighting.</HTML>
