Hey Jim....

Sometime awhile back we ran t33 and were discussing radial engines...saw this and was reminded of it....

So that got me re-researching radial engines..and the difference between radial and rotary engines

The gif animation is radial like t33 and the 39plymouth above...

The 39 Plymouth is a fun thing to see!!

`rewatched the gif - the red camshaft - nice.

Speaking of old military aviation piston engines being put to use, you might enjoy this item that came to me last evening:
