Further, the length of the engine would give rise to problems in respect of crankshaft deflections and infringe upon freight space as defined in the general arrangement. How has the power per cylinder been increased without major design changes to the crosshead pin assembly and what alterations have been made to the lubrication methods in the cylinder and crankcase. How is the stress upon the cylinder head fastenings limited to keep the extensions upon firing within their elastic limits. What an engine! Impressive. Regards; David.

Could you also let us know why a singular drive wheel setup is used here. Gratefully, T. G. Ellison.
