Composite name by which several Clerget products were known since, as already mentioned, they were produced in the facilities of "Societé Malicet et Blin".

-The association of both took place around 1910 and they settled in Levallois-Perret, where they built the rotary and fixed engines with 60, 80, 110, 130 and 200 CV.

“Clerget-Blin ad”

-In the advertisement we see the related name of both partners.

-The motors manufactured by Societé Malicat et Blin are known as Clerget-Blin.

-The 4-stroke 2K twin cylinder was also made there. It had a piston diameter of 85 mm and a 100 mm stroke.

-The compression ratio was 5 to 1. The 16 CV was given at 1.700 rpm.

-Other features were: one magneto, one intake and one exhaust valve per cylinder, ands a single spark plug. Weighing it all 22 Kg.

-But production began with the 60 CV, seven-cylinder rotary. Shortly thereafter the 7Z with 80 CV.

-The 9Z of 110 CV was installed in the Morane et Saulnier and in the Nieuport aircraft. The engine was from 1916.

"Clerget 9Z"

-The 9B rotary was very worthy. It gave 130 CV, and was built in England by Gwynnes Ltd. and in France by Delaunay-Belleville, a builder of automobiles, as there were times of war.

"Clerget-Blin 9B, rotary"

-The 9-cylinder 9B gave 130/140 CV at 1,200 rpm. With a piston diameter of 120 mm and a stroke of 160 mm. It had a compression of 5.2 to 1.

-This engine had 2 magnetos and two spark plugs per cylinder, and a Tampier carburetor. The weight of the engine was 173 kg.

"Clerget-Blin 9B, 130 CV"

-The Clerget Blin 9B can be seen from the rear while in the main text it appears showed from the front. This is a rotary engine as well.

-With its 220 CV the 11EB was similar to the 11-EG and 11-G, that gave 265 CV at 1.400 rpm. In one of the showcases at the MAE we can admire the Clerget-Blin 7Y rotary that gave 60 CV at 1,200 rpm.

-Next to it is another 11-cylinder Clerget-Blin, the 11Eb model. Both engines are restored and look impeccable for their exhibition.

-The 7Y engine that is located in the MAE reserve stock in Dugny, is perfectly restored and photographed by my collaborator Evzen V. de Brno. For the author highlights the intake duct system.
