Clerget?

Catfish · 05-11-21, 01:31 PM

Not a Clerget.

Jimbuna · 05-11-21, 01:35 PM

Is it a Le Rhône type?

Catfish · 05-11-21, 02:23 PM

Not a LeRhône either.

Gnome Monosoupape(1913) to a Bleriot XXVIII?

Buddahaid · 05-11-21, 04:48 PM

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?

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!

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!!!

Pre-war is right, if not 1913. Not a Gnôme, said before?

I also can read "Moteur.. something" but there should not be the name "Gnôme" on it

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 · 05-12-21, 07:43 AM

Another hint, the rear..

Jimbuna · 05-12-21, 12:28 PM

Macomber?

Buddahaid · 05-12-21, 01:13 PM

Societe des Moteurs Salmson?

Looks like the right crankcase style but photos are scarce.

Catfish · 05-12-21, 01:52 PM

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 · 05-12-21, 03:36 PM

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.
