“SHK single-valve”
-It is a double concentric valve in which first the central valve opens the exhaust and in the next step in the sequence a jacket that surrounds the valve opens the intake passages, and the exhaust valve closes.
-Four types of SHK engines were made, the most common being the 70 CV 7-cylinder.
-The 14 cylinder gave 110 HP.
“SHK seven-cylinder engine”
From Appendix 12: Another photo of the 7-cylinder engine in radial arrangement giving 70 HP.
“From the Krakow Aviation Museum, SHK engine”
-Document taken from the Museum's technical library, available on the Internet.
-Of its 70 HP radial engine. now a front view of it.
