It was the “The Cosmos Engineering Co. Ltd.” construction company, but previously it was a section of the “Brazil, Stacker & Co.”, a car manufacturer.

-It studied, designed, built and tested two important engines, the Mercury and the Jupiter, which would eventually be passed on to Bristol.

-The Mercury, a 14-cylinder, double-row radial, only gave 300/315 HP.

-As a notable feature, this engine did not use “mother” connecting rods, but the crankshaft neck was longer with the connecting rods placed next to each other, and the cylinders mounted in a spiral.

-While the Jupiter with only nine cylinders reached 500 HP, naturally due to its larger overall diameter and the size of its cylinders.

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
