Article needs expansion[edit]

I've helped the article along with an image of AA on motorbike, and with images of Anzani aero engines, plus a list of these engines with some details. However, all I know is about aircraft and other communities (motorbike, motor car racing etc) will have a shared interest in Anzani. It would be good to have input from you! A motorbike question or two: I've called the motor in the 1906 photo a Fan type, but it looks as if the angle between the inner and outer cylinders is less than the 72o of the Anzani Fan engine that Bleriot used for his cross channel flight. I'd guess maybe as little as 45o; anyone know the contemporary name, the angle or indeed anything else about this or other early Anzani bike engines?TSRL (talk) 20:37, 28 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The effect is in part foreshortening, and I later convinced myself it could well have the 55o or 60o separation of the cross channel Bleriot. 72o engine was later; cf Anzani 3-cylinder.TSRL (talk) 15:34, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
