VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for "The New Series Bristol Pegasus X" aircraft engine, produced by The Bristol Aeroplane Co. , Ltd. based in Filton, Bristol. The image prominently features the radial engine itself with its intricate array of cylinders and exhaust pipes, showcasing the mechanical complexity and engineering prowess of the era. The ad highlights key specifications such as weight (995 lbs. ), power output (920 B. H. P. ), and power-to-weight ratio (1:08 lbs. /B. H. P. ). It also emphasizes performance metrics like take-off power at 2, 350 r. p. m. being 920 B. H. P. , normal running power at 3, 500 ft. being 830 B. H. P. , and maximum continuous power at sea level reaching up to 820 B. H. P. Key improvements in this series are outlined below the main text which includes increased finning & strengthened material around valve seats for improved cooling, new materials used in high-stress areas like connecting rods made from stronger steel alloys combined with silver-steel bushes bearing surfaces that have been induction-hardened to enhance durability. Overall, the advertisement aims to convey a sense of technical advancement and reliability associated with the Pegasus X engine while promoting it as an essential component for aviation during that time period.
