The last Adams - Farwell.

Made in Iowa 1890 - 1913. Interesting rotary, you gotta love nuts & bolts.

Very cool, thanks for sharing that.

A four stroke rotary. That's interesting.

It's basically a WWI aircraft engine. They are pretty strange engines.

I wonder how much gyroscopic effect it has.

Lovely piece of machinery. Thanks for posting that.

I wondered the same thing!

Cool share, first time I've seen one!

There were aircraft (that I can't remember the name of) that basically did the same thing; propeller was mounted to the engine and the whole engine rotated. It was to get enough cooling air around everything to make the engine last.

Mid-engined flat five cylinder. It's a sports car!

That is very cool.
