Hi folks
Is anyone aware of the Serpollet pattern engines built by David.J. Smith around 1903? Attached is a drawing from the English Mechanic.

Hi
If you mean the engine in Australia then no it is not the same block. If you look carefully at the pictures of a Serpollet flat four it has only one cam shaft and all the valves are on one side of the cylinder.
I have a picture of another flat four uniflow engine which is listed also as a Serpollet but no name cast into it. I am suspicious this is another Serpollet pattern engine, either by Smith or Simpson.
Cheers
