FEBRUARY 21, 1920 Supplement to LTMX THE 1WGIK A 7 Cylinder Air-Cooled Radial The 230 h.p. Armstrong Siddeley Lynx engine has attained a worldwide reputation for reliability and ease of maintenance. It was with Lynx engines that Lieut. Koppen flew his Fokker F.VII-3m. from Amsterdam to Batavia and back, covering 18,000 miles in 18 days. It was with Lynx engines that Fokker machines repeated the Amsterdam-Batavia flight with equal reliability last summer, and it was with Lynx engines that the difficult Munich-Milan Italian Airline and two new Airlines in Switzerland were equipped. Lynx engines are used in more than twenty different countries, where their independence of climatic conditions have been amply proved. They have been used with equal success in Central Africa and within the Arctic Circle. Fitted on Avro Aircraft they are the standard training engine of the British Air Force and are widely used for seaplane training. They are also used for two-seater reconnaissance machines, single- seater fighter aircraft, deck-landing aircraft and twin-engined seaplanes. Many of their principal parts are interchangeable with those of the Armstrong Siddeley 14-cylinder Jaguar and 5-cylinder Mongoose engines. Where different types are in service this effects great economy in the storage of spares and general maintenance. Leading Features 7 cylinders, 5" bore X5.5" stroke. Compression ratio 5 to 1. Normal r.p.m. 1,900. Maximum r.p.m. 2,090* Engine weight 513 lbs. Direction of rotation, Left Hand Tractor, SIDDEIXY MOTORS LTD.
