Many will have heard of the Bristol Hercules engine... a 14 cylinder radial of 37.8 litres using a sleeve valve design instead of the poppet valves like the Rolls Royce Merlin and todays modern engines.
With a big thank you to Andy Ward for the 3D printed cutaway of one cylinder and its sleeve valve, here we can see the sleeve in operation.
