-5- Summarising the position, we see that there are practical difficulties in the way of incorporating a twin inlet valve head in the main engine, and further research will have to be done on a single inlet head modified as noted above, before the position is absolutely clear, but it would appear that the head promises extremely well, and if it lives up to its promise, would be quite a good proposition.
