[u crank]

Something to accompany torpedo boats?

Buddhaid already asked that - no.

So, a PT boat ?

No. You already asked if it was a transport or support ship and I answered yes. Then later it was converted for another use. The ship I am looking for is the converted ship.

[Catfish]

So it has been converted from a support/transport to not warship but with two smaller guns in its later role, close to the end of the war, but it was never used in WW2.
I admit i have no idea what this could possibly be :haha:

You answered to Moonlight that it's not a Casa Grande-class dock landing ship.

But maybe some other type of a landing craft? Like the type c or so? http://www.digitalhistoryarchive.com/uploads/2/5/4/1/25411694/0007_orig.jpg

The USS Pueblo (AGER-2) was not a Coast Guard ship. It was attached to Navy intelligence as a spy ship. So I am going to declare you the winner. :salute:

Here it is moored along the Pothong River in Pyongyang, North Korea.

Those were the original ships in that class. They were mothballed and then later three of them were brought into service by the USN for use as intelligence gathering ships.

[Catfish]

WW I rotary engine??

[Catfish]

Yes :03:

Sorry, NO! Pre-ww1.

[mapuc]

Was this engine mounted on some famous WWI fighter ?

Markus

[Catfish]

Sorry, had reread the info, it is a pre-ww1 engine, so probably not mounted on a ww1 fighter at all.

[Aktungbby]

German?

[Catfish]

Not german, though all those rotary engines are somehow related to the initial german Oberursel "Gnom" and "Stahlherz" ones.

[Jimbuna]

Le Rhône 9C?

[Catfish]

^ No.

[Aktungbby]

french?

[Buddahaid]

Gnome Lambda?

[Jimbuna]

Gnome Lambda?

Could well be, that was to be my next guess.

[Catfish]

@Aktungbby: Yes, french.

@Buddahaid and Jim: Not a Gnôme Lambda.

[Jimbuna]

Clerget?

[Catfish]

Not a Clerget.

[Jimbuna]

Is it a Le Rhône type?

[Catfish]

Not a LeRhône either.

[Aktungbby]

Gnome Monosoupape(1913) to a Bleriot XXVIII?

[Buddahaid]

It looks to me the boiler plate is for Societe Des Moteurs Gnome but I can't find the right crankcase shape. It does look like a monosoupape type rotary.

[Buddahaid]

It looks to me the boiler plate is for Societe Des Moteurs Gnome but I can't find the right crankcase shape. It does look like a monosoupape type rotary.

EDIT: Maybe not but I can read MOTEUR on the left.

So was this made by the Seguin brothers?

[Aktungbby]

I would'nt know; I simply hung all the pictures of pre WWI rotary french engines on the wall, threw a dart, and this is the one I hit...voíla heh mon ami!:|\\

[Buddahaid]

The design looks like the Gnome Rohne monosoupape except for the crankcase not being circular, plus there doesn't seem to be anybody else developing a seven cylinder rotary that looks even close. The internet is a failure!!!

[Catfish]

Gnome Monosoupape(1913) to a Bleriot XXVIII?
Pre-war is right, if not 1913. Not a Gnôme, said before?

Buddahaid wrote: It looks to me the boiler plate is for Societe Des Moteurs Gnome but I can't find the right crankcase shape. It does look like a monosoupape type rotaryI also can read "Moteur.. something" but there should not be the name "Gnôme" on it :hmmm:
Not the Seguin Brothers either.

What you all got right is that it is a seven-cylinder engine, and the intake tubes are on the "back/firewall" side, ruling out certain models. Though this engine was also mounted on a 'pusher' type at least once as i read.

Hint: earlier than 1911

[Catfish]

Another hint, the rear..



https://i.imgur.com/AJvRqTWm.jpg

[Jimbuna]

Macomber?

[Buddahaid]

Societe des Moteurs Salmson?

Looks like the right crankcase style but photos are scarce.

[Catfish]

Non ..

To be true i had not heard before that this company ever built aircraft engines, but it seemed a logical step at the time, especially when the war began.
I am not even sure how much horsepower this thing produced, reports vary.

There's not so much left, you should have it soon..

[Catfish]

I just read that the gents inventing this engine named their company "... le Rhone", but this was 3 years after this engine was invented.

Information is really hard to come by, all the beginnings are hidden in the mist of history.

Another hint: Connnected with the construction of automobiles.

[mapuc]

I know a Swedish producer who started with constructing airplanes before and during WWI. Thereafter they dropped it and started to develop cars, later Break systems to cars and trucks.

But if I remember correctly it's a French company.

Markus

[Catfish]

^ Yes, it is french, not swedish.

In this case the selling of automobiles of the company he was working for was dropping, so the then constructor persuaded the company to construct engines with him, and planes. The latter remained experimental, but the engine was a success. The name of the joint-vemture company was later changed, and even more later the company produced an aeroplane engine under its own name later in the war, not mentioning the initial constructor.

The company is still alive today, if not on the planes sector.

[Buddahaid]

Motorenfabrik Oberursel?

[Catfish]

^ No, french.

They all "copied" from another, but the engine in question is a french invention. Patents were initially bought from the german company "Motorenfabrik Oberursel", but the arrangement of cylinders and a lot of details were changed.

(The first Oberursel engines had only one clinder, to push up torque and horsepower the idea was to put several of those together.. next problem was the cooling, so the idea was to let the engine rotate.

Star shaped engines rotating were called rotary engines (rotaries),
star shaped non-rotating engines were called radial engines (radials)

Any arrangement used as a fixed "radial" engine at the time proved to get too hot – Blériot with his fixed 3-cylinder Anzani "radial" engine on his Bl. XI only crossed the channel because it began to rain, the water cooling the engine enough for B. to reach the english side.
The only successful radial engines with a fixed non-rotating star arrangement were the Canton-Unnée engines, which had to be watercooled.)

Edit: The name of the still-existing company has recently changed. It is quite a big one.
Even if you have the name of said company, you need the other name of the constructor to find the engine's complete name of the time.

[Buddahaid]

Sorry, I've read all that searching and just come up blank.:haha:

[Catfish]

Hint there are not so much french automobile companies left .. although this one is now of course international, and as recently said it has changed its name. It has swallowed other companies in the process, but the lion's share still lies with the original company :03:

[Moonlight]

It must be Renault then. Renault was founded nearly a 125 years ago in 1898 by three brothers, Fernand, Marcel and Louis Renault. I'll have to dig deeper for the right engine if this gets a yes from Catfish.

[Jimbuna]

Not Renault, a big hint is in he last post of mine :03:
The company is one in a group of many, the concern has changed its name several times but most cars are still being produced under their original names and marques. The company in question is the major one though.

@Jim this is a pretty engine, which is this supposed to be?
Not the engine in question though – because the one in your picture has the intake tubes at the front, and it has 9 cylinders instead of 7..

[Aktungbby]

To reiterate: its not a Clerget, Le Rhone, or Gnome of any sort?

[Catfish]

I read that the name or parts of the company was years later changed to Gnome or LeRhône, but the engine did not bear this name yet.
A the time there was a lot of experimenting and exchanging knowledge among aircraft and engine designers, collaboration and split ups going on, along with the founding of other/new companies.

There was the german Gnom, french Gnome, LeRhône, Gnome et Rhône (Société des Moteurs Gnome et Rhône), Gnome LeRhône (all with sometimes wrong designation), then Clerget, Bentley and so on, but apart from the initial german Gnom one-cylinder they were all a bit later.
When the french companies developed the small Gnom engine into usable aircraft engines they now had to get a patent from them to create their own Oberursel and Siemens-Halske rotary engines.

I saw that there is a lot of wrong information in Wikipedia..

[Aktungbby]

well... my "photo: all french preWWI rotary engines" certainly ain't gettin' it. :03:

[Catfish]

Ok.. I did find exactly one historical photo, and it even only showed the predecessor of the engine in question.

So 3 hints:
- One of the planes this engine was installed to was a monoplane, (another is said to have been a pusher plane, but i did not find a photo - maybe some early Farman contraption? No idea). The monoplane flight in 1910 was not very successful.
- The engine is said to have had 70 hp (some say 50 but this was most probaby the predecessor), which was an absolute record for this early time
- It was shown quite late publicly at the Paris Flight Salon in 1910, and the only photo i know of it powering a plane is the aforementioned monoplane from 1910, too.

The internet sometimes claims that the engine powering said plane was a "Gnome", but this is wrong. The name emerged later.

[Jimbuna]

Originally known as the Gnome Omega?

[Buddahaid]

Rossell-Peugeot?

[Catfish]

Rossell-Peugeot?
YES! This is it.

The engine is the Rossel-Peugeot 70 hp, 7 cylinder, built in 1907.
Complete name was "Société Anonyme des constructions aériennes Rossel-Peugeot"

Will post some information later in case anyone is interested (i guess not lol)

Here goes:

https://i.imgur.com/jmJQbF6l.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/ZFt1zxTl.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/liNA7RGm.jpg

This is the only Rossel-Peugeot i found on the 'net, presented at the Paris Flight Salon 1910, not even sure whether it is the 50 or 70 hp version:

https://i.imgur.com/T9hHgVAl.jpg

In 1903, Frédéric Rossel founded the automobile company "F. Rossel et Cie" in the city of Montbéliard, later named "SA des Automobiles Rossel". The production of automobiles began in 1903, often using Daimler/Mercedes engines at that time or so i read. The brand name was just Rossel. Production of the automotive company seized in 1926, when Peugeot took over the company.

"Frédéric Rossel, while already working for Peugeot a few years, and with car sales figures depressed at this time, turned his interests to aviation and convinced the Peugeot Brothers to form the “Société Anonyme des constructions aériennes Rossel-Peugeot”.

They needed a plane to try the engine out, but there were no "planes" to have at the time, Santos-Dumont just having flown on October 23, 1906, when his 14-bis biplane flew about 200 feet at a height of around 15 feet before a large Parisian crowd in the world’s first public powered flight – but it was in a straight line, the contraption was almost not manoeuverable sideways.
So Rossel and Peugeot decided to build an own experimental plane, which took three years until 1910.

The designer of their plane is said to be a Robert Savary, it was built by the Reggy frères, who also furnished the propeller, and the monoplane was powered by the 70 hp Rossel rotary engine (the internet is wrong here with 50 hp version). The real first flight was piloted by Monsieur Jules Goux (1913 the first Frenchman to win the Indianapolis 500 motorcar race) - but just 5 minutes into the air the machine lay wrecked on the ground, with Goux unhurt. The engine was salvaged and rebuilt, but not used again.

Photo of the one and only Rossel-Peugeot plan (afaik):

https://i.imgur.com/f18PN0Ql.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/IjVdLyEl.jpg

I just took this photo of the engine out of my photo archive, was not aware that info on this was so scarce on the 'net.. after all it was just an early rotary. Sorry for the fuss..


Over to Buddahaid :salute:

[Buddahaid]

It was one of seven possibilities based on going down a list of aircraft engine manufacturers. I really didn't have anything to go on but that.

[Aktungbby]

Originally known as the Gnome Omega?

Propellers: 2-bladed fixed-pitch propeller

[Jimbuna]

my source says the 1910 Rossell-Peugeot monoplane was powered by a Gnome 7 Omega...which Jimbuna posted...I need an aspirin...

Rgr that.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rossel-Peugeot_monoplane

[Catfish]

This is where the Wiki is maybe wrong, anyway the Peugeot-Rossel engine in question is not a "Gnome".

The Omega was produced by the "Société des Moteurs Gnome" and "emerged in the spring of 1909 as the 7-cylinder rotary Gnome Omega, delivering 50 hp (37 kW) from 75 kg".
This one had 70 hp and a weight of around 85 kg, in 1907.

[Moonlight]

Moonlight sticks hand up in the air waving wildly like an headless chicken, at first you said it wasn't anything to do with aircraft and at the end it did power an aircraft?, anymore "guess what this is" images like that and I'm gonna need more than a bloody aspirin you silly ass. :o

[Catfish]

^ Where did i write it had nothing to do with aircraft?

[Buddahaid]

Rgr that.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rossel-Peugeot_monoplane

It's not the same engine by the photos. The Omega doesn't have flats around the crankcase where the cylinders attach which is why I didn't suggest it earlier.

[Moonlight]

^ Where did i write it had nothing to do with aircraft? Ahem. :O:

Sorry, had reread the info, it is a pre-ww1 engine, so probably not mounted on a ww1 fighter at all.

[Buddahaid]

Not mounted on a WW1 fighter doesn't excude its use on aircraft. Especially when you can see a prop in the photo.

[Catfish]

^ Thanks, exactly.

@Moonlight I answered to Mapuc's question whether it was mounted on "some famous WW1 fighter", and i said it wasn't.
Not famous, not WW1, and not a fighter.
I also gave you a hint with the "lion's share" of the major company that is still leading the PSA concern, now recently renamed to "Stellantis". The lion is the Peugeot brand logo.


I say Buddhaid wins it since he was the one to mention Peugeot-Rossel first. And this company invented and built the engine shown :salute:

[mapuc]

It looks like a Buddha statue

So it must be in a country where Buddhism is a part of the religions in that area

Markus

[Buddahaid]

Yes it is a Buddha.

[mapuc]

Is it in a country where Buddhism is the main religion ?

Markus

[Buddahaid]

There are several religions and Buddhism is not listed as number one but it is one of the largest single religions.

[Buddahaid]

Sorry I was at the dentist. Not Bangkok.

[Jimbuna]

On the island of Phuket?

[Buddahaid]

No sir but that's the right continent.

[Jimbuna]

That rules out India then which was my next guess.

[Buddahaid]

That rules out India then which was my next guess.

India is part of the Asian continent. Not India anyway.

[Aktungbby]

On the island of Phuket?bronze or gold covered?

[Jimbuna]

[Buddahaid]

Referred to as golden but I can't determine if it's actually gold.

[Buddahaid]

Myanmar/Burma?

Sorry, not there.

[Aktungbby]

[Buddahaid]

No, it's not the First Presbyterian Church in downtown Napa if you were wondering.....

[Aktungbby]

[Buddahaid]

Not in New England.

[Aktungbby]

[Buddahaid]

If you are dividing along the Mississippi River, yes.

[Buddahaid]

Getting warmer, much warmer.

[Aktungbby]

Florida?

[Buddahaid]

Colder.

[Aktungbby]

kentucky?

[Buddahaid]

East was defined as east of the Mississippi River. Not Kentucky.

[Aktungbby]

to reiterate: not Tenn. , Kentucky, Florida, none of the Piemont states, not new England. Edit: Lousiana adjacent to Mississippi is partially 'east of the Mississippi'...:hmmm: the spire, base and Georgian style are 1700's; so along with your Mardi Gras proclivities, I 'll go with thee oldest church in New Orleans...whether it's east of the Mississippi notwithstanding.

[Buddahaid]

That's it and you'd have to cross the river to go further west even though that crossing would be to the south. It's still the eastern side of the river.

Over to you.

Is this photo highly magnified?

[Aktungbby]

Is that bubbles in a fluid?The location the picture depicts could have a fluid quality to it.

Confetti? In a matter of speaking...it could even land on your rooftop giving you cause for a lawsuit!

Is this photo highly magnified? Not in my opinion I simply copied, cropped and borrowed a portion of the depiction w/o magnifying. You, of all, have previously posted some the stuff that is depicted in previous puzzles:D
