Gobron opposed engine.

[Rdean33422]

Maybe someone can help me find information on the Gobron engine. It is an opposed piston engine and I saw a video somewhere that showed this fellow had an engine that was very close but I can't find it again.
There are several web sites that show and talk about the cars they made but I can only find three pictures of the engines.
It supposedly was the first automobile to break the 100 mile speed barrier.


Thank you

Wikipedia has a nice 2 view. Looks like all the detail is there to make some working drawings. Expect it would have some vibration if the speed gets very high.

Fairbanks-Morse built a similar engine with 2 crankshafts that was used in Diesel-Electric Submarines in World War 2 and in Locomotives.

Thanks kf2qd I have those and I am hoping to find actual close up photos of the engine.
