Corbella in Milan made three engines around 1910.

The first one was four-cylinder in line that gave 45/50 CV.

-The other two were radial engines, a three-cylinder giving 35 CV at 1100 rpm and a 7-cylinder giving 70 CV. Both were air cooled.

From appendix 9: The main text mentions this brand's engines, including the 3-cylinder radial that gave 35 CV.

-Now we received a photo taken from the book "Storia dell'aviazione" of 1912.

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
