P.1 of 18 1St Naturally-Aspirated Era (1NA) 1906
P.1 of 18 1st Naturally-Aspirated Era (1NA) 1906 – 1923: 9 Racing Years This Era can be sub-divided technically into 6 years pre-WW1 (1NA-1) and 3 years post-War (1NA -2), because of the technology changes which were invented and developed to improve aero- engines during that conflict, although they did not all appear immediately afterwards in Grand Prix racing-engine design. Era 1NA-1: 1906 – 1914: 6 racing years In this sub-Era, which was preceded by 11 years of city-to-city and Gordon Bennett pre-Grand Prix Naturally-Aspirated racing, all the winning engines were IL4* and had cast-iron or machined-steel pistons in cast-iron or fabricated-steel blocks with integral heads , breathing always through a single updraught carburetter. However, the sub-Era gave rise to very rapid changes in cylinder-head design. _____________________________ * In the 1907 French GP (FGP) 3 makes of IL8 engines appeared but none finished (835,940). Their day would come after WW1 development of multi-cylinder designs. In the 1908 FGP 2 makes of IL6 raced but only 2 out of 6 cars finished in lowly places (940). Eg. 1. 1906 Renault AK; 12,986cc; 90HP @ 1,200RPM See Figs. 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D. Eg. 2. 1907 FIAT; 16,286cc; 130HP @ 1,600RPM See Fig. 2A Eg.3. 1908 Mercedes; 13,533cc; 138HP @ 1,600RPM See Fig. 3A. Era 1NA-1 opened in Cars-of-the-Year (CoY) with the side-valve (SV) Renault of Bore (B)/Stroke (S) = 166mm/150 = 1.11. This SV arrangement had been pioneered by the company in their Type A of 1902. -

Karl E. Ludvigsen Papers, 1905-2011. Archival Collection 26
Karl E. Ludvigsen papers, 1905-2011. Archival Collection 26 Karl E. Ludvigsen papers, 1905-2011. Archival Collection 26 Miles Collier Collections Page 1 of 203 Karl E. Ludvigsen papers, 1905-2011. Archival Collection 26 Title: Karl E. Ludvigsen papers, 1905-2011. Creator: Ludvigsen, Karl E. Call Number: Archival Collection 26 Quantity: 931 cubic feet (514 flat archival boxes, 98 clamshell boxes, 29 filing cabinets, 18 record center cartons, 15 glass plate boxes, 8 oversize boxes). Abstract: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers 1905-2011 contain his extensive research files, photographs, and prints on a wide variety of automotive topics. The papers reflect the complexity and breadth of Ludvigsen’s work as an author, researcher, and consultant. Approximately 70,000 of his photographic negatives have been digitized and are available on the Revs Digital Library. Thousands of undigitized prints in several series are also available but the copyright of the prints is unclear for many of the images. Ludvigsen’s research files are divided into two series: Subjects and Marques, each focusing on technical aspects, and were clipped or copied from newspapers, trade publications, and manufacturer’s literature, but there are occasional blueprints and photographs. Some of the files include Ludvigsen’s consulting research and the records of his Ludvigsen Library. Scope and Content Note: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers are organized into eight series. The series largely reflects Ludvigsen’s original filing structure for paper and photographic materials. Series 1. Subject Files [11 filing cabinets and 18 record center cartons] The Subject Files contain documents compiled by Ludvigsen on a wide variety of automotive topics, and are in general alphabetical order. -
©Desmodromology, H. Cloosterman Assertions
“Jules Goux won in 1921 with this Ballot 3L racer the first Italian Grand Prix near Brescia.” Source: Autorennen : Die Grossen Preise der Welt ….. von 1894 bis Heute / Adriano Cimarosti; p. 53. The drawing of the Ballot-desmodesign with the text (translated from German into English): Right The Desmodromic valve actuation from the three liter Ballot from 1921, is taken from the same source. Cimarosti doesn’t work in a scientific way and so he does not directly mention the sources for his data and ©Desmodromology, H. Cloosterman assertions. This is also the case of his text by the picture on this page. Since he is the only one with this desmo-statement and since there is no other text nor are there any pictures from the supposed desmo- engine, we must face the possibility that Ballot never produced a desmo-engine. Reason to transfer this Brand from “Systems” to “Supposed desmo, but actually non-desmo” Further comment by Sebastien Faures, a Vintage car specialist from France: Ballot was an engine manufacturer only before WWI, his first cars appearing after WWI. In 1919, Ballot launched its famous twin-cam 8 cyl. 5 liters racing car on the Indy track. For 1920 and 1921, this racing car was scaled down to 3 liters to be in accordance with new Indy and Grand Prix regulations. All these cars were designed by the Swiss engineer Ernest Henry. Ernest Henry was previously the designer of the famous racing Peugeot twin-cam 1912-1914. As it has been demonstrated by Griffith Borgeson, none of the Peugeot’s was Desmo. -

L500 R Hybrid, La Vision Prospective Du Sport Automobile by PEUGEOT
COMMUNIQUE DE PRESSE 27 mai 2016 L500 R HYbrid, la vision prospective du sport automobile by PEUGEOT Le 30 mai 1916, la PEUGEOT L45 pilotée par Dario RESTA gagnait la course mythique des 500 miles d’Indianapolis à une vitesse moyenne de 135 km/h. 100 ans plus tard, PEUGEOT rend hommage à une équipe étonnante, celle des « Charlatans » qui ont offert à PEUGEOT trois belles victoires aux Etats-Unis entre 1913 et 1919 1 sur le circuit de l’Indy 500, en présentant une interprétation futuriste de la voiture de course « indie » : la PEUGEOT L500 R HYbrid . Un racing concept qui maximise les sensations de conduite La PEUGEOT L500 R HYbrid est posée au plus près de l’asphalte pour délivrer tout son potentiel dès les premiers mètres. Avec ses voies larges, sa hauteur contenue de 1 mètre et son poids de 1 000 kg, la PEUGEOT L500 R HYbrid est taillée pour la performance : elle avale le 0 à 100 km/h en 2,5 secondes et prodigue un 1000 m départ arrêté en 19 secondes. Sa chaine de traction hybride essence plug-in de 500 ch développée par les équipes Peugeot Sport et dérivée de celle de la 308 R HYbrid associe deux moteurs électriques, à l’avant et à l’arrière, au moteur essence 270ch, pour un couple maximum de 730 Nm. La PEUGEOT L500 R HYbrid présente des lignes de style qui partent du lion dans la calandre vers le pilote pour terminer - clin d’œil à son ainée - sur un arrière fuselé mettant en scène les trois griffes distinctives des feux arrière qui caractérisent aujourd’hui le style PEUGEOT. -
