All the valves are operated by two cam shafts actuatedby a single reduction gearing from the main crank shaft;one cam shaft being located on either side of the pistons are of the trunk type fitted with five cast ironrings. The lighting of the car is not dependent upon themain generator, a combined air compressor and lightingdynamo bein
