Richard Pearse
Centenary of Flight
This is a
close up of the engine. Whereas its known that Pearse's
original engine had its cylinders bolted against a wooden frame, the
version made by the Westobys features a steel box frame mounted around the cylinders and
it seems overall a more
robust design. One thing known about the original Pearse engine was its short operating periods, as
it was prone to overheating. |
