I’m pretty sure this technology hasn’t been seen since WW1, but does anybody have any good pictures/drawings of slipper rods as used in Lerhone rotaries or any radial engines? I’m fiddling around with an X configuration engine design and would like to investigate slipper rods. Any information about the strengths/weakness of this rod arrangement? I’m interested in slipper rods because of the perfect geometry and the compactness of the arrangement. Attached is a pic of a slipper arrangement for a model engine.
Just to be clear, I am not interested in the master/slave rods normally used in radials, some rotaries, and X configurations.
Thanks,
Rob
