They do have an OHV version I believe. At the RPM's these engines run
at i.e. direct drive prop, I am not sure the L head is that much of a

All of the Pobjoy's were geared, OHV engines. They produced 80hp @
3300 rpm (prop speed of 1400rpm). Weight was 130 lbs.

I was referring to the HCI Radials which are ungeared. I have seen the
Pobjoy. I have collected everything I can get my hands on with regard
to small radial engines. I have even managed to find factory blueprints
for parts of the Kinner and a Leblonde. No prints sadly for the Pobjoy,
just some contemporaneous technical reviews that do have three views of
the engine. There was a Pobjoy on display in a museum outside San Jose,
but that is a trek from your 20.
