-They were later marketed by Burgess Battedry Corp. as the Burgess-Morton M5. The existence of an M2 is mentioned.

-The above photograph is from the engine shown at the San Diego Air and Space Museum located in Balboa Park.

-A miniature 14-cylinder Morton engine belongs to the collection of Mr. J. Castellsaguer in Mataró, Barcelona.

-As no original full-size Morton 14-cylinder engine has been located yet, research is continuing, as doubts about its existence begin to raise.

-They were specialized in small engines for large models and similar uses in target planes, etc. We have now located an in-line four cylinder.
