\‘nhe Mechanism
Valve mechanism is of the roe ker-

qucncy of adjustment and positive

departure from common practise.

ficio'ncy and minimum carbon.
Two icaturos were rtrivcn for in
the cooling systom—ct‘ficlvnt cooling
and rapid warming of the engine
when cold to reduce the use of choke
with its resultant harmful dilution
and carbon formation. Particular
attention was devoted to cooling
cylinders six. seven and eight be-
cause of tho diff ulty encountered
in this respect 1 previous eight-
in-iinc types. The water inlet to
the cylinder block was placed at the
lower extreme rear with outlet at
the front. As the roar cylinders re-
ceive the coolrst water. thin count-
eracts the fan's greater cooling of
the trout ones at the expense or
those further back.
