The manufacturer Back Brown built Anzani engines under license in the United States. They were improved and more powerful.

-When in 1927 Anzani sold the factory to Potez, he collaborated with Brown Back in the beginning. There they built the 3-cylinder radial engine that gave 48 hp at 1,800 rpm. The 60 and 80 hp 6-cylinder radial engines and the 120 to 225 hp 10-cylinder engines.

-The two-cylinder 15 hp engine was developed in Brown Back to reach 28 hp at 1,800 rpm with dual ignition.

The author of this edition of Aeroengines AtoZ, through Aeroteca, collaborated on Version 2 of this video, which is presented here.

To understand the operation of the connecting rods, the 1929 Continental R 670 single-cylinder engine was chosen.

A demonstration of Version 3, improved at the author's suggestion, is also available on YouTube at a later date. This version shows bronze valve guides, improved valve spring movement, and the split crankshaft counterweights and front bearing balls also move.

The design is from Juan Soler, Sant Cugat, Barcelona

Below we show a flash of version 3

Counting also with the coloboration of JMC of Enginys Mecanics in Mataro, Barcelona
