"Walking beam" internal combustion engines:
- George Brayton in the 1870s to 1890s
- Mason and Maytag cars and trucks, 1907-1915
- Duesenberg racecars 1913-1919
- Rochester-Duesenberg cars (list of makes: Category:Rochester-Duesenberg)
I suggest to move this Category to Category Walking-beam steam engines.--Chief tin cloud (talk) 10:57, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
- Apart from the Brayton engines, which are already here, I don't know of any car engines or internal combustion engines after that date that used a walking beam in anything like this sense (the faster the engines went the less viable this is). The Duesenberg (the only one I've heard of) was a bit like the Lanchester engine with horizontal valves and long vertical rocker arms. But that's hardly a new type of engine, it's just a valvegear layout. Only the steam engines, or the Brayton, placed the power of the engine through this beam.
