Great photo. Thank you for your thoughts. I don't know much about this engine, but is there any casting that connects the two V's other than the gear reduction drive? The concept I had was that the two crank centers would be farther apart.
A 'proper' way to have a 24 cylinder liquid-cooled aero engine for the ww2?

Major General
There were some drawings done in old text books and/or magazine articles back in the 30s. I just can't remember where at moment. Also the difference between 5cyclinder, 7 cylinder, 9 cylinder and 11 cylinder radials (yes I said text book 
)
constant was they were supposed to be for engines of the same power.
Vs were the best, H and X were roughly the same although the H was bit less,
As I recall the drawings were of the different engines superimposed on a 9 cylinder radial of the desired power? and percentage equivalents of frontal area
The liquid cooled engines didn't figure in the radiator.
Might have been in an old copy of Flying magazine or Airplane but they are off line now.
