Dec. 12, 1955 - Secrets Of New Engine Revealed.: Mr. Granville Bradshaw, 67-year old engineer, of Eversley, Hants, yesterday explained how his revolutionary new engine the omega works. Mr. Bradshaw claims that his engine, by having only nine working parts, by reducing friction and weight, and by eliminating the conventional valve gear, is : Lighter, cheaper to build, gives more power, has a longer life, takes up less space, is quieter and gives more miles per gallon. This is This Is How It Works: Inside a tube-like oylinder are four pistons which work in pairs. The firing stroke blows the pistons apart. Meanwhile the cylinder rotates bringing the sparking plug to meet the point where the left-hand pistons meet and blows them a part again. This is repeated at the third and fourth firing points. Cuts in the cylinder walls act as exhaust outlets. As the pistons shuttle they turn a crankshaft. The Omega is air-cooled and friction is almost eliminated, claims Mr. Brdshaw
