interesting to read that Chryler needed 30 cylinders and 1253 ci
to get 425 horsepowers.

In Germany there was such a multibank engine, too. At the end
of WW2 a 48 cylinder aircraft engine was designed. It had H-shape,
four rows of each 12 cylinders working on two crankshafts.=20

The performance was 5000 brake horsepowers. As an aircraft engine
it had twin sparks, so you needed 96 spark plugs.=20

This monster never saw service.

Regards
Andreas
