Richard Pearse
Centenary of Flight
| This is a 
      close up of the engine. Whereas its known that Pearse's 
      original engine had its cylinders bolted against a wooden frame, the 
      version made by the Westobys features a steel box frame mounted around the cylinders and 
      it seems overall a more 
      robust design. One thing known about the original Pearse engine was its short operating periods, as 
      it was prone to overheating. |
