From Appendix 9: The founder of Otto Schwade & Co. had a son named Hans James Schwade who became a pilot in 1910.

-Later he built Farman-type planes. He took over the company he named Schwade & Co. to make engine accessories such as gas and liquid pumps and also made upgraded Gnome-licensed radial rotary engines. (see Schwade & Co.).

From Appendix 12: Below we show a new illustration of a rotary engine of this brand.

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
