In 1937, at the behest of the United States Army Air Corps, the Allison Engine Company agreed to design and build a large-displacement high-power aircraft engine. The resulting V-3420 was essentially a pair of 12-cylinder Allison V-1710 engines mated to a common crankcase with a 30° angle between the inner cylinder banks.
short-stroke gas piston Short stroke gas piston and bolt carrier group, from a gas piston AR-15 With a short-stroke or tappet system, the piston moves separately from the bolt group. It may directly push [ 12 ] the bolt group parts, as in the M1 carbine , or operate through a connecting rod or assembly, as in the Armalite AR-18 or the SKS .
The TJ and CA series are a family of naturally-aspirated V10 and V8 Formula One racing engines, in both 2.4-litre and 3-litre engine configurations, designed and developed by Cosworth; and produced between 2005 and 2013. [2] The customer engines were used by Minardi, Red Bull, Toro Rosso, Williams, Lotus, HRT, Virgin, and Marussia.
An early opposed-piston car engine was produced by the French company Gobron-Brillié around 1900. On 31 March 1904, [12] [13] a Gobron-Brillié car powered by the opposed-piston engine was the first car ever to exceed 150 km/h with a "World's Record Speed" of 152.54 km/h (95 mph). [14]
These pistons can survive mild detonation with less damage than stock pistons. 4032 and hypereutectic alloys have a low coefficient of thermal expansion. This allows tighter piston to cylinder bore fit at assembly temperature. The "2618" performance piston alloy has less than 2% silicon and could be described as hypo (under) eutectic.
The comparison of mean piston speed (black line) with real piston speed (color lines). Diagram shows one stroke from BDC to TDC. Revolution = 1.000 min-1, stroke = 88 mm. The connecting rod ratio l/r varies: 3 - red, 4 - green, 5,5 - blue. The mean piston speed is the average speed of the piston in a reciprocating engine.

Holley Brothers Company advertisement for carburetors in the Automobile Trade Journal, 1916.. Holley's history starts in Bradford, Pennsylvania, in 1896 when teenage brothers George (1878–1963) and Earl Holley built a small, one-cylinder, three-wheeled vehicle they dubbed the "Runabout", with a top speed of 30 mph.
