Mechanical Oddity
This motor is from 1922 Tatra T11 racecar. It had the most peculiar casting The finned cylinder heads are enclosed within it and are cooled by a huge fan attached to the flywheel - the air being forced through the various tubes in the casing. The hole at the top is for access so that the engine can be assembled.

Thanks for the nice comment! I was beginning to wonder if anyone was looking at my blog any more.
Linked you at http://digi-sketch.blogspot.com
Just found your blog. Very nice work! I especially like your ink location sketches. Will check back regularly. Keep posting! =)
Have just found your blog via Drawn.
You've created beautiful and extremely sympathetic drawings of fast disappearing machinery (despite the best efforts of our classic car brethren). Are your illustrations published?
Have bookmarked your blog.
Beautiful work here Stefan! Love yer sketches!

Cor, thanks for all the comments - it's great to know that someone's had a look. Next week I'll be posting loads of sketches from Norway - houses mostly.
