Engines
The four series of four-cylinder, four-stroke in-line engines with aluminum crankcases had side-mounted valves, excavator oiling , spray carburettors and tube coolers with fans. The increase in displacement was achieved in the first three series by increasing the piston stroke from 95 mm over 98 mm to 105 mm with the same 65 mm cylinder bore; the exact displacements are therefore - calculated with 3.14 for the number of circles and rounded to an integer: 1260 cm³, 1300 cm³ and 1393 cm³. From 1916 the cylinder bore was 70 mm, the stroke 102 mm, which means 1569 cm³ and would have to result in 6 tax horsepower .
