Re: Cilinder angle 3 1/2

If I understood you are confused by seeing in the drawing the front piston at TDC, and the rear one at BDC with two crankpins. That is due to the kind of graphic representation on hand drawings of the time. Different positions are shown in the same drawing. The maximum run of pistons, one head in a ...
