A Great War 130-HP Clerget Propeller Boss, centrally mounted with a mahogany faced electrical clock, the laminated top edge of the boss stampd "AD 644 RH, D2590, P2650, 130 HP Clerget, 7 I`, 37cm across Clerget Rotary Engine (Type 9)- France. In 1917 the Sopwith Camel airframe cost ú874 10s, the Clerget engine that powered it cost ú907 10s, the fact that the power unit cost more than the airframe is often overlooked. The Clerget had neither the peculiar intake arrangements of the Gnome nor the strange connecting rods of the Le Rhone, its valves were actuated by conventional rocker arms from two pushrods per cylinder, these constituting a recognition feature Clergets were made in 110hp and 130hp models, and the 130 may have been a little overdeveloped, since it was subject to overheating. It used a special type of piston ring, called an "obdurator` ring, below the wrist pin to block heat transfer from the combustion area to the lower part of the cylinder, when this ring broke, as it was prone to do, the cylinder turned blue from the heat, Clergets were generally very well engineered except for this problem, those made in England by Gwynne were especially good. Used predominantly in Nieuports and Sopwiths, but also when captured in a number of German triplanes. Visit www.dnfa.com for condition reports
