1960 Deltic Engineering Manufacturing Napier
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the intricate details of a Deltic D18 engine, a marvel of manufacturing and engineering from the 1960s. The Deltic engine, named after its delta-shaped combustion chamber, was a groundbreaking design that revolutionized the transportation industry. Designed and built by Napier, a renowned British engineering firm, this engine was a significant departure from traditional piston engines. The Deltic D18 was a two-stroke, opposed-piston engine, which meant that the pistons were arranged in a V-shape, facing each other. This unique design allowed for a more compact engine size and increased power output. The engine's triangular shape is evident in this image, with the three banks of cylinders arranged in an equilateral triangle. The manufacturing process of the Deltic D18 engine was a complex and intricate one. Each component was meticulously engineered and assembled to ensure the engine's efficiency and reliability. The engine's power output of 3,000 horsepower made it a favorite among transportation enthusiasts and a valuable asset to various industries. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of transportation engineering and the innovative minds that brought such remarkable machines to life. The Deltic D18 engine represents a significant milestone in engineering history, and this image serves as a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the Napier team in the 1960s.
